Abstract des Autors
A new method has been developed to measure cadence while walking. The method uses instrumentation to detect the vibrations transmitted in the walkway surface. These vibrations are produced when a subject's foot makes initial contact with the walking surface. The method was tested against heel switches and was found to measure stride duration with RMS errors of around 1%. The vibration method requires no instrumentation to be attached to the subject, can be used with bare feet or any other footwear, is simple to use and is very robust and reliable. Verf.-Referat
