Digital Gait Measures Discriminate People with Friedreich's Ataxia from Healthy Controls
Digital gait measures from wearable sensors were discriminative, reliable, and showed concurrent validity for evaluating ataxia severity during an instrumented walk test. These results suggest promising utility of digital gait outcomes for use in FRDA clinical trials.
