Quantitative gait analysis can support clinical decision-making. These analyses can be performed using wearable sensors, nonwearable sensors, or a combination of both. However, to date, they have not been widely adopted in clinical practice. Technology adoption literature has highlighted the clinical efficacy of technology and the users' perspective on the technology (eg, ease of use and usefulness) as some factors that influence their widespread adoption.
To assist with the clinical adoption of quantitative gait technologies, this scoping review will synthesize the literature on their clinical efficacy and clinician perspectives on their use in the clinical care of adult patient populations.
This scoping review protocol follows the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews. The review will include both peer-reviewed and gray literature (ie, conference abstracts) regarding the clinical efficacy of quantitative gait technologies and clinician perspectives on their use in the clinical care of adult patient populations. A comprehensive search strategy was created in MEDLINE (Ovid), which was then translated to 4 other databases: CENTRAL (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCO), and SPORTDiscus (EBSCO). The title and abstract screening, full-text review, and data extraction of relevant articles will be performed independently by 2 reviewers, with a third reviewer involved to support the resolution of conflicts. Data will be analyzed using content analysis and summarized in tabular and diagram formats.
A search of relevant articles will be conducted in all 5 databases, and through hand-searching in Google Scholar and PEDro, including articles published up until December 2022. The research team plans to submit the final scoping review for publication in a peer-reviewed journal in 2023.
The findings of this review will be presented at clinical science conferences and published in a peer-reviewed journal. This review will inform future studies designed to develop, evaluate, or implement quantitative gait analysis technologies in clinical practice.

定量步态分析有助于临床决策。这些分析可通过可穿戴传感器、非可穿戴传感器或两者结合来进行。然而,迄今为止,它们尚未在临床实践中得到广泛应用。技术采用文献强调了技术的临床疗效以及用户对技术的看法(如易用性和实用性)是影响其广泛采用的一些因素。
为了促进定量步态技术在临床中的应用,本范围综述将综合关于其临床疗效的文献以及临床医生对其在成年患者群体临床护理中应用的看法。
本范围综述方案遵循乔安娜·布里格斯研究所范围综述方法。该综述将包括关于定量步态技术临床疗效的同行评审文献和灰色文献(即会议摘要),以及临床医生对其在成年患者群体临床护理中应用的看法。在MEDLINE(Ovid)中制定了全面的检索策略,然后将其翻译到其他4个数据库:CENTRAL(Ovid)、Embase(Ovid)、CINAHL(EBSCO)和SPORTDiscus(EBSCO)。相关文章的标题和摘要筛选、全文评审以及数据提取将由两名评审员独立进行,第三名评审员参与以协助解决冲突。将使用内容分析法对数据进行分析,并以表格和图表形式进行总结。
将在所有5个数据库中检索相关文章,并通过在谷歌学术和PEDro中手工检索,包括截至2022年12月发表的文章。研究团队计划于2023年将最终的范围综述提交至同行评审期刊发表。
本综述的结果将在临床科学会议上展示并发表在同行评审期刊上。本综述将为未来旨在开发、评估或在临床实践中应用定量步态分析技术的研究提供信息。
