Kinesiological Analysis Using Inertial Sensor Systems: Methodological Framework and Clinical Applications in Pathological Gait
2025
Overview
Accurate gait assessment is essential for managing pathological locomotion, especially in elderly patients recovering from hip joint surgeries. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) provide real-time, objective data in clinical settings. This study examined pelvic oscillations in sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes using a wearable IMU system in two groups: Group A (n = 15, osteosynthesis metallica) and Group B (n = 34, arthroplasty), all over age 65. Gait analysis was conducted during assisted and unassisted walking. In the frontal plane, both groups showed statistically significant improvements: Group A from 46.4% to 75.2% (p = 0.001) and Group B from 52.6% to 72.2% (p = 0.001), reflecting enhanced lateral stability. In the transverse plane, Group A improved significantly from 47.7% to 80.2% (p = 0.001), while Group B showed a non-significant increase from 73.0% to 80.5% (p = 0.068). Sagittal plane changes were not statistically significant (Group A: 68.8% to 71.1%, p = 0.313; Group B: 76.4% to 69.1%, p = 0.065). These improvements correspond to better pelvic symmetry and postural control, which are critical for a safe and stable gait. Improvements were more pronounced during unassisted walking, indicating better pelvic control. These results confirm the clinical utility of IMUs in capturing subtle gait asymmetries and monitoring recovery progress. The findings support their use in tailoring rehabilitation strategies, particularly for enhancing frontal and transverse pelvic stability in elderly orthopedic patients.
