PURPOSE: To investigate the characteristics of balance and gait functions in Generalized Joint Hypermobility (GJH) subjects residing in high-altitude areas. METHODS: This study included 61 university students (28 with GJH and 33 healthy controls) all from the high-altitude region of Linzhi, Tibet Autonomous Region. The Riablo™ wearable intelligent rehabilitation assessment and training system was used to assess static balance (with eyes open and closed) and gait function (during flat walking) in both groups. RESULTS: Compared to healthy subjects, GJH subjects exhibited significantly impaired balance, indicated by an increased distance of the center of pressure position from the ideal center of gravity(EO: P = 0.007, EC: P = 0.031) and greater amplitude of center of pressure displacements (EO: P = 0.043, EC: P = 0.032). Gait velocity(P = 0.007), stride length(P = 0.012), and swing stance phase of the gait cycle(P = 0.046) were significantly reduced in GJH subjects compared to healthy subjects. A significant increase in the flat-foot phase of the gait cycle(P = 0.022) was observed in GJH subjects compared to healthy subjects. CONCLUSION: The current study demonstrated that GJH subjects residing in high-altitude areas exhibit impairments in balance and gait, providing a basis for training and prevention strategies tailored for this population. And this study used the wearable intelligent rehabilitation evaluation and training system in high-altitude areas, providing methodological references for scientific research on balance and gait function under non laboratory conditions.
