With the recent development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), inertial sensors have become widely used in the research of wearable gait analysis due to several factors, such as being easy-to-use and low-cost. Considering the fact that each individual has a unique way of walking, inertial sensors can be applied to the problem of gait recognition where assessed gait can be interpreted as a biometric trait. Thus, inertial sensor-based gait recognition has a great potential to play an important role in many security-related applications. Since inertial sensors are included in smart devices that are nowadays present at every step, inertial sensor-based gait recognition has become very attractive and emerging field of research that has provided many interesting discoveries recently. This paper provides a thorough and systematic review of current state-of-the-art in this field of research. Review procedure has revealed that the latest advanced inertial sensor-based gait recognition approaches are able to sufficiently recognise the users when relying on inertial data obtained during gait by single commercially available smart device in controlled circumstances, including fixed placement and small variations in gait. Furthermore, these approaches have also revealed considerable breakthrough by realistic use in uncontrolled circumstances, showing great potential for their further development and wide applicability.

Objective: The aim of this report is to raise awareness of a rare inborn error of immunity (IEI) that can predispose to inflammatory disease and infection risk by describing a patient case.
Methods: We reviewed clinical findings, laboratory and pathology evaluations, and genetic results.
Results: A 13-year-old female patient with a history of prematurity and spastic diplegic cerebral palsy underwent planned orthopedic procedures to correct chronic gait abnormalities.

With the rapid emergence of flexible electronics, flexible pressure sensors are of importance in various fields. In this study, a dopamine-modified melamine sponge (MS) was used to prepare a honeycomb structure of carbon black (CB)/MXene-silicone rubber (SR)@MS flexible pressure sensor (CMSM) through layer-by-layer self-assembly technology. Using SR as a binder to construct the honeycomb structure not only improves the mechanical properties of the sensor but also provides more attachment sites for CB/MXene, enhancing the stability of the conductive network.

Peroneal nerve palsy is the most common entrapment neuropathy of the lower extremity, often presenting with foot drop and sensory deficits. While trauma and space-occupying lesions are well-documented causes, prolonged static postures, such as cross-legged sitting, can lead to neurapraxia, a mere myelin injury, and a reversible conduction block caused by nerve compression. This case report aims to present the clinical course and successful conservative management of peroneal nerve palsy with foot drop in a 26-year-old male following prolonged cross-legged sitting, highlighting the unusual symptom presentation where typical nerve compression signs such as tingling, neuropathic pain, heaviness, or numbness were absent until the patient stood up.

Background: Gait analysis is widely utilized for the diagnosis and prognosis of various diseases. Recently, innovative convenient markerless motion capture systems have been developed to replace the traditional marker-based three-dimensional motion capture systems.
Purpose: s:This study is to evaluate the test-retest reliability of a novel video-based markerless motion capture system(Watrix, China) and to assess its concordance with a three-dimensional motion analysis system (BTS, Italy) in a population of young healthy subjects.

Footstep recognition is an emerging biometric that identifies or verifies users based on footstep pressure patterns obtained while walking. However, the impact of covariates on footstep recordings is not well understood, unlike more established biometric traits such as fingerprint and facial recognition. Therefore, this study used unsupervised hierarchical clustering (HCA) to examine the internal and external covariate influence on spatial and temporal footstep features of twenty individuals.
