About

Gait alteration is frequent in MS and limitation in walking ability is a major concern in MS patients. Umanit and LMJL (Nantes university) has developed a device call egait to assess walking ability in individuals (eg MS patients).

Full description

This device consists in a commercialized IMU sensor (MetaMotionR Sensor, Mbientilab) worn at the right hip, a smartphone app and dedicated algorithm/mathematical model to extract raw sensor data and calculate individual gait pattern (IGP). This IGP consists of a curve, based on quaternion and representing the rotation recorded by the IMU during an average gait cycle. Pursue previous works conducted on (IGP to assess) gait alteration in MS by adding (to IGP) new information from MRI.

Enrollment: 100 estimated patients

Ages: 18+ years old
