Agreement between BTS G-walk and GaitLab in spatiotemporal and pelvic angle measurements in active older adults
BTS G-Walk accurately measures spatial gait parameters in active older adults, ideal for quick clinical assessments where 3D systems are unavailable. However, its weak temporal parameter and pelvic rotation performance, possibly due to 100 Hz sampling, L5 placement, and algorithms, limits detailed analysis like stability. With a large sample and pelvic angle focus, this study supports G-Walk as a complementary tool in gerontology, while noting needs for improved temporal and angular precision.
