Validation of AI-based markerless gait event detection during perturbed walking using smartphone videos from two camera perspectives
Background Perturbation-based balance training (PBT) requires objective quantification of reactive stepping responses, yet gait event detection during perturbed walking remains methodologically challenging. Markerless smartphone-based gait analysis offers a scalable alternative to laboratory motion capture systems, but its robustness under perturbation-induced gait irregularities is insufficiently validated. This pilot study including five partic…
Effects of jump training on power, strength, balance and aerobic performance in non-exercising young adults
Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for noncommunicable diseases and associated mortality. A high-intensity jump training has proven to be efficient in counteracting inactivity related declines in physical function during two months of bed rest. In the present study, we tested the effects of such a training program under real-life conditions. Seventy-five young adults (38 female, 23 ± 3 years) were randomly assigned to either a training or…
Reliability of the adapted compensatory arm and leg movements scale during perturbation treadmill walking in older adults
The A-CALM scale showed high intra-rater consistency and moderate-to-substantial inter-rater agreement, with greater reliability for arm than leg movements. Single-rater use is recommended to enhance stability, while future work should refine leg scoring and validate the scale in larger cohorts with outcomes like falls and functional decline
A complex systems view on physical activity with actionable insights for behaviour change
Willingness to pay for a group and an individual version of the Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise program from a participant perspective
The results provide insight into how valuable the interventions are perceived by the participants and thereby may be used by decision-makers as complement to cost-effectiveness analyses. WTP for both programs was generally high, probably indicating that participants perceived the intervention as quite valuable. However, further research is needed on the WTP and net benefit of fall prevention programs, as results relied on the specific context of …
The Stepping Threshold Test for Reactive Balance
Introduction: Measurement of reactive balance is critical for fall prevention but is severely underrepresented in the clinical setting due to the lack of valid assessments. The Stepping Threshold Test (STT) is a newly developed instrumented test for reactive balance on a movable platform, however, it has not yet been validated for fall-prone older adults. Furthermore, different schemes of observer-based evaluation seem possible. The aim of this s…
