According to South Korea's Ministry of Employment and Labor, approximately 25,000 construction workers suffered from various injuries between 2015 and 2019. Additionally, about 500 fatalities occur annually, and multiple studies are being conducted to prevent these accidents and quickly identify their occurrence to secure the golden time for the injured. Recently, AI-based video analysis systems for detecting safety accidents have been introduced.

Introduction: Freezing of gait (FOG) is a disabling symptom for people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). Turning on the spot for one minute in alternating directions (360 turn) while performing a cognitive dual-task (DT) is a fast and sensitive way to provoke FOG. The FOG-index is a widely used wearable sensor-based algorithm to quantify FOG severity during turning.

The continuous, automated monitoring of sensor-based data for walking capacity and mobility has expanded gait analysis applications beyond controlled laboratory settings to real-world, everyday environments facilitated by the development of portable, cost-efficient wearable sensors. In particular, the integration of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) into smart shoes has proven effective for capturing detailed foot movements and spatiotemporal gait characteristics. While IMUs enable accurate foot trajectory estimation through the double integration of acceleration data, challenges such as drift errors necessitate robust correction techniques to ensure reliable performance.

Background: Advanced technologies are becoming increasingly accessible in rehabilitation. Current research suggests technology can increase therapy dosage, provide multisensory feedback, and reduce manual handling for clinicians. While more high-quality evidence regarding the effectiveness of rehabilitation technologies is needed, understanding of how to effectively integrate technology into clinical practice is also limited.

This study presents a novel approach to quantitatively assess the impact of flooring materials on walkability using Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm. Four common pavement materials (wood, asphalt, concrete block, and cement) were evaluated across five age groups (20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50-60, and over 60 years) with 80 participants walking 1,200 m on each surface. IMU sensors attached to the lumbar region recorded acceleration and gyroscope data, which were then analyzed using DTW to quantify gait stability.
