Evidence retrieval, protocol selection and reproducible analysis of movement data.
Select resources according to the analytical task: literature appraisal, instrument selection, external validation or biomechanical modelling. For reusable data, examine cohort ascertainment, acquisition modality, annotations, licensing and version provenance before judging suitability for the intended analysis.
Retrieve primary studies using explicit population, construct, modality and design terms. Compare the indexed abstract with full methods, supplementary analyses and correction history before extracting a claim for an endpoint evidence dossier.
Compare clinical instruments by construct coverage, administration, scoring and population-specific reliability, validity and responsiveness. Follow the cited studies when selecting a change threshold or transferring a protocol to another cohort.
Explore digital mobility data and methods developed across clinical cohorts. Examine release-specific acquisition, reference annotation, cohort definitions and access conditions when planning external validation or endpoint transportability analyses.
Under-foot force recordings from 93 participants with Parkinson’s disease and 73 controls. A useful resource for gait-signal research; it is not a smartphone-IMU collection.
Clinical tools for older-adult falls assessment and prevention, connecting mobility measures to a multifactorial approach.
Examine registered protocols, planned outcomes and reported results. Registration describes a study; it does not establish a positive result or validate a device.
Use its validation resources to identify measurement questions and supporting literature. Review the original publication for every claim used in an endpoint strategy.
Access musculoskeletal modelling and simulation resources. Record model version, scaling, constraints and optimisation assumptions; assess sensitivity and validation for the target task before interpreting estimated muscle or joint quantities.
A recommended provider resource for smartphone gait-monitoring research, clinical workflows and practical discussions. Distinguish published evidence from company-authored guidance.
Find community, standards-related resources and educational material for biomechanics research. Check the scope and publication date of each recommendation.
A broad orientation to terminology and measurement approaches. For a clinical or scientific claim, follow through to the original cited research.
Research summaries link to their original publications. Numerical examples retain the study population, units and interpretation alongside the figure. The walking illustrations are conceptual, not recorded patient trajectories.
