Examination of the reliability of an inertial sensor-based gait analysis system.
Katja Orlowski Falko Eckardt Fabian Herold Norman Aye Jürgen Edelmann-Nusser

Biomed Tech (Berl)

November 2017

Article Synopsis
  • Gait analysis enhances therapeutic routines, and InvestiGAIT, a sensor-based system, was created to capture both lower and upper body motion, unlike commercial systems.
  • The study assessed the reliability of InvestiGAIT using four off-the-shelf sensors, involving 25 healthy participants over two measurement sessions a week apart.
  • Findings revealed excellent reliability for most gait parameters and strong correlations in upper body motion; however, a few parameters like midswing height and stride length showed less reliability.

Horse-rider interaction in dressage riding.
Andreas Münz Falko Eckardt Kerstin Witte

Hum Mov Sci

February 2014

In dressage riding the pelvis of the rider interacts with the horse physically. However, there is little information about the influence of riding skill on the interaction of the human pelvis with the horse. Therefore this paper aims to study the interaction between horse and rider in professional riders (PRO) and beginners (BEG).

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Falko Eckardt"

  • - Falko Eckardt's research focuses on the application of technology in analyzing human movement, particularly in therapeutic settings and sports, as exemplified by his study on the reliability of an inertial sensor-based gait analysis system called InvestiGAIT.
  • - The 2017 study published in "Biomed Tech (Berl)" evaluated the functionality of InvestiGAIT, highlighting its potential for more accurate gait analysis compared to existing commercial systems, which often overlook upper body motion.
  • - Eckardt's earlier work, published in "Hum Mov Sci," explored the dynamics of horse-rider interaction in dressage, investigating how rider skill levels affect pelvic movement and its impact on performance, thereby contributing to the understanding of biomechanics in equestrian sports.
