Proposed objective scoring algorithm for clinical evaluation of walking asymmetry in lumbar disc herniation, based on relevant gait metrics from wearable devices: The Gait Symmetry Index (GSiTM) – Observational study

• The proposed GSi algorithm aims to objectively evaluate the walking impairment associated with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). • GSi is calculated as deviation from mean (age-matched) normative values for gait velocity, step time asymmetry and step length asymmetry. • Clinical performance was assess...

Descripción
Sumario:• The proposed GSi algorithm aims to objectively evaluate the walking impairment associated with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). • GSi is calculated as deviation from mean (age-matched) normative values for gait velocity, step time asymmetry and step length asymmetry. • Clinical performance was assessed in a prospective, single surgeon series of 33 lumbar disc herniation (LDH) patients. • GSi was lower in LDH participants with significant distribution between surgical and conservative management subgroups.
