Using shoe-mounted inertial sensors and stepping exergames to assess the motor-...
Guimarães, V; Sousa, I; de Bruin, ED; Pais, J; Correia, MVObjectiveStepping exergames designed to stimulate physical and cognitive skills can provide important information concerning individuals' performance. In this study, we investigated the potential of stepping and gameplay metrics to assess the motor-cognitive status of older adults. MethodsStepping and gameplay metrics were recorded in a longitudinal study involving 13 older adults with mobility limitations. Gam...
Minding your steps: a cross-sectional pilot study using foot-worn inertial sens...
Guimarães, V; Sousa, I; de Bruin, ED; Pais, J; Correia, MVBackgroundCognitive impairment is a critical aspect of our aging society. Yet, it receives inadequate intervention due to delayed or missed detection. Dual-task gait analysis is currently considered a solution to improve the early detection of cognitive impairment in clinical settings. Recently, our group proposed a new approach for the gait analysis resorting to inertial sensors placed on the shoes. This pilot...
