Evaluating a Wearable Solution for Measuring Lower Extremity Asymmetry During Landing

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings show acceptable agreement between impact acceleration and accelerometer-based COM acceleration and lack of agreement between impact accelerations and accelerometer-based tibial acceleration asymmetries. COM acceleration could be used to quantify landing impacts during rehabilitation, but we do not consider the accelerometer-based asymmetry measures to be a suitable alternative for force plate-based measures. Future work should focus on determining normative values for lower extremity asymmetries during landing tasks.PMID:37736414 | PMC:PMC10510545 | DOI:10.3138/ptc-2021-0086
