“…Mean value and CoV (CoV = (standard deviation/mean) × 100) of stride time were recorded at self-selected usual pace, while usual walking and dual tasking, using the SMTEC® footswitches system (SMTEC®, Sport & Medical Technologies SA, Nyon Switzerland). This system is highly reliable for measuring gait in nondemented and demented older adults (Beauchet et al 2011;Beauchet et al 2008). It includes a pair of innersoles fitted inside the participant's shoes.…”

Dual task-related changes in gait are considered as a sensitive and a specific marker of adverse effects of cognitive impairment on the highest levels of gait control. No study has examined the longitudinal association between gait performance while dual tasking and the occurrence of cognitive decline. This study aims to examine the association of stride time parameters (i.e., mean value and coefficient of variation (CoV)) during single and dual tasking with the occurrence of cognitive decline in non-demented older community dwellers. A total of 56 non-demented community dwellers were recruited in a longitudinal prospective cohort study. Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) scores at baseline assessment and at 5-year follow-up assessment, and mean value and CoVof stride time at self-selected usual pace, while usual walking and dual tasking (i.e., counting backward and verbal fluency task) at baseline assessment were recorded. Variation (i.e., delta) of MMSE score from baseline to follow-up assessment as well as of stride time parameters from single to dual task was used as outcomes. Worse stride time values were reported while dual tasking compared to single tasking (P < 0.03). An increase of mean value, CoV, and delta of CoVof stride time was associated with an increased delta MMSE while performing verbal fluency task (P < 0.05). Worsening stride time parameters while performing a verbal fluency task at baseline assessment was associated with decline in MMSE score during the 5-year follow-up period in this sample of older community dwellers.

“…Different valid and reliable methods exist for the assessment of gait parameters, e.g. force plates, threedimensional motion analyses systems and pressure-activated sensors [1][2][3]. However, most methods are time-consuming, costly, limited to a single gait cycle and labour-intensive.…”

“…The aim of this study was (1) to determine the concurrent validity of the DynaPort 1MiniMod system with the GAITRite 1 system for spatio-temporal gait parameters that were recorded for averaged and individual step data in an older adult population and (2) to compare the levels of agreement for averaged step data from different walking distances and individual step data.…”

“…19 This test measures in seconds the time it takes a subject to rise from a chair, walk a distance of 3 meters, turn, walk back to the chair, and sit down. 20 This reliable system is a pair of innersoles fitted inside the subject's shoes. Each innersole contains 2 independent footswitches placed at the heel and the toe, which are linked to a portable data logger worn at the waist.…”
