Validity of a Wireless Gait Analysis Tool (Wi-GAT) in assessing spatio-temporal gait parameters at slow, preferred and fast walking speeds.

Background: The wireless gait assessment tool (Wi-GAT) measures have been shown to have good to excellent concurrent validity with preferred walking speeds, however, the validity of the Wi-GAT measures at slow and fast walking speeds is unknown.

Objective: To establish validity of the Wi-GAT spatio-temporal gait measures at slow, fast, and preferred walking speeds.

Methods: Twenty two healthy adult volunteers, with a mean age of 25.
