Inertial measurement unit (IMU) systems are offering promising alternatives to optoelectronic systems for measuring human movement. The objective of this study was to assess the validity of a new inertial measurement system, iSen STT-IWS sensors, with reference to the optoelectronic motion capture system OptiTrack. 22 young participants...

Background: Dual-task (DT) walking is of great interest in clinical evaluation to evaluate the risk of falling or cognitive declines in older adults. However, it appears necessary to investigate deeply the confounding factors to better understand their impact on dual-task performance. Objective: To evaluate the effect of age, sex, falls and...
