description | [Purpose] To assess the agreement between our custom Bluetooth IS system and the gold standard MOCAP system during gait. Bluetooth inertial movement sensors (IS) allow for real-time movement analysis with fewer restrictions than optoelectrical motion capture systems (MOCAP) and more accessibility than wireless IS systems. [Participants and Methods] We collected simultaneous Bluetooth IS and MOCAP data for 16 young participants walking at a self-selected speed. Sensors were placed on the right thigh and shank. Segment angles and stride length were calculated and compared between systems using Pearson’s correlation coefficients (R), intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC), root mean square errors (RMSE), limits of agreement (LOA), and Bland-Altman plots. [Results] R values ranged from 0.371–0.715; ICC values ranged from 0.263–0.770. RMSE was 0.369 m for stride length and ranged from 6.85–13.07° in segment angles. Limits of agreement were −0.01–0.66 m for stride length and ranged from −27.71–20.53° in segment angles. [Conclusion] The Bluetooth IS system showed moderate agreement with MOCAP. Bluetooth IS could be used for reliable gait analysis with fewer space requirements and more portability than wireless IS or MOCAP systems. Bluetooth IS could be used outside of the clinic for real-time monitoring of gait during daily life. |
