Official title
Comparison of the Gaitbox, SprintSystem Device and NIH Toolbox 4 Meter Walk
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to validate the walking velocity measured by the Gaitbox as compared to the measures obtained by clinicians administering the timed 4 meter walk test and the Sprint System device. The investigators have developed a compact device, the Gaitbox, which measures walking speed automatically. The device has an infrared light sensor that is capable to accurate distance measurements. To take a speed measurement, the device is placed at the end of the walking path and the subject simply walks towards the device. The device automatically records a starting and ending distance and calculates and displays walking speed in m/sec. This is a prospective, single site study. Up to 60 subjects will be enrolled at Duke. Subjects will be asked to complete the 4-meter walk test, three (3) times. Three speed measuring methods will be conducted simultaneously: NIH toolbox 4 meter clinic walk test and the Sprint System device (commercially available device typically used for timing track and field events), and the Gaitbox. The purpose is to validate the Gaitbox to the clinical NIH toolbox 4 meter test and against the Sprint System device. The following comparisons of speed will be made: Human timer 1 to human timer 2, Average human timer to Gaitbox, Gaitbox to Sprint System.
