Expertise: Gait Assessment
SAM3 Expertise Areas: Gait Assessment
Gait, walking speed, and other measures are an important measure of mobility. SAM3 researchers have explored numerous methods for the assessment of gait.
Gait Assessment
- AI assisted video cameras
- Accelerometers within hearing aids
- Accelerometers on shoes
- WiFi based assessment
- Motion sensor based assessment
- Ultra Wide Band
