Application of vibration to the soles reduces minimum toe clearance variability during walking

Prabhat Pathak et al.

Summary: This study used shoes embedded with active vibrating insoles to reduce the variability of toe clearance during gait by applying appropriate intensity of vibration. The results of the experiment showed that continuous vibration significantly reduced the variability of toe clearance.

Physical activity level, fear of falling and quality of life: a comparison between community-dwelling and assisted-living older adults

Christopher Olusanjo Akosile et al.

Summary: This study found that older adults living in assisted-living facilities scored lower in physical activity and quality of life, with a higher prevalence of fear of falling, compared to their community-dwelling counterparts. Significant positive relationships existed among physical activity, fear of falling, and quality of life for participants in both groups.

Design of a Novel Wearable System for Foot Clearance Estimation

Shilpa Jacob et al.

Summary: A novel wearable system using only two Time-of-Flight sensors is proposed to accurately estimate foot clearance parameters, showing high correlation with motion capture data. With the newly proposed compensation method, the system's measurement results are reliable, and it has the potential to contribute to reducing tripping risks among seniors in the future.

A Scoping Review on Minimum Foot Clearance Measurement: Sensing Modalities

Ghazaleh Delfi et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate alternative measurement modalities to optical motion capture systems for measuring level-ground MFC values. IMUs and OPS were identified as the most commonly used alternative modalities, but there was a lack of standardization and discrepancies in methods among studies using the same measurement modalities.

Muscles Affecting Minimum Toe Clearance

Chamalka Kenneth Perera et al.

Summary: The study found that using muscle activity retention taping can significantly reduce minimum toe clearance, causing changes in knee and ankle joint angles, but muscle activity increases significantly, mainly due to the healthy and strong muscle condition of the subjects.
