Validity of accelerometer-based analysis of step time and step time variability during treadmill walking in people with bilateral vestibulopathy
An accelerometer-based assessment is valid for assessing mean step time in people with BVP. For assessing step time variability, it can distinguish between known groups (particularly at slower speeds) but does not demonstrate criterion validity. Before clinical application, test-retest reliability and sensitivity to change should be assessed in BVP.
