Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Detailed investigation to explain poor variability/asymmetry agreement between accelerometers and instrumented walkway. • Caution is urged in the choice of reference system for validation studies. • Accelerometers have potential to gather continuous and robust spatio-temporal gait data, representative of normal living. • Further refinement of the gait algorithms are required.
