Nowadays, gait assessment in the real life environment is gaining more attention. Therefore, it is desirable to know how some factors, such as surfaces (natural, artificial) or dual-tasking, influence real life gait pattern. The aim of this study was to assess gait variability and gait complexity during single and dual-task walking on different surfaces in an outdoor environment. Twenty-nine healthy young adults aged 23.31 ± 2.26 years (18 females, 11 males) walked at their preferred walking speed on three different surfaces (asphalt, cobbles, grass) in single-task and in two dual-task conditions (manual task-carrying a cup filled with water, cognitive task-subtracting the number 7). A triaxial inertial sensor attached to the lower trunk was used to record trunk acceleration during gait. From 15 strides, sample entropy (SampEn) as an indicator of gait complexity and root mean square (RMS) as an indicator of gait variability were computed. The findings demonstrate that in an outdoor environment, the surfaces significantly impacted only gait variability, not complexity, and that the tasks affected both gait variability and complexity in young healthy adults.
如今,人们越来越关注在真实生活环境中的步态评估。因此,了解一些因素(如表面类型[自然、人工]或双重任务)如何影响真实生活中的步态模式是很有必要的。本研究旨在评估在户外环境中不同表面的单任务和双重任务行走时的步态变异性和步态复杂性。29 名健康的年轻成年人(年龄 23.31±2.26 岁,女性 18 名,男性 11 名)以他们的惯用步速在三种不同的表面(沥青、鹅卵石、草地)上进行单任务和两种双重任务(手动任务——拿着装满水的杯子,认知任务——减去数字 7)行走。一个三轴惯性传感器附着在躯干下部,用于记录行走过程中的躯干加速度。从 15 个步长中,计算样本熵(SampEn)作为步态复杂性的指标和均方根(RMS)作为步态变异性的指标。研究结果表明,在户外环境中,表面仅显著影响步态变异性,而不影响复杂性,并且任务会影响年轻健康成年人的步态变异性和复杂性。
