Identifying Gait Characteristics of Lower Limb Prostheses Via a Wearable Sensor

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to measure step counts and wear time  with a newly developed disposable sensor and compare data collected by existing gold standard devices to quantify accuracy of the new device. We also aim to discern differences in activity levels and walking speeds of medicare functional classification groups using the gold standard device.
