“…The use of OptoGait [6][7][8] photocell sensor systems accurately quantify Sensors 2021, 21, 2805 2 of 10 spatiotemporal gait patterns and analysis of their results can prevent falls by means of interventions that allow to normalize alterations involving an altered and unstable gait (custom plantar supports, rehabilitation exercises, etc.) [3][4][5][6]9]. It is argued that the use of custom foot orthoses reduces instability improves performance and gait quality [10].…”

Walking is part of daily life and in asymptomatic subjects it is relatively easy. The physiology of walking is complex and when this complex control system fails, the risk of falls increases. As a result, gait disorders have a major impact on the older adult population and have increased in frequency as a result of population aging. Therefore, the OptoGait sensor is intended to identify gait imbalances in pronating feet to try to prevent falling and injury by compensating for it with treatments that normalize such alteration. This study is intended to assess whether spatiotemporal alterations occur in the gait cycle in a young pronating population (cases) compared to a control group (non-pronating patients) analyzed with OptoGait. Method: a total of n = 142 participants consisting of n = 70 cases (pronators) and n = 72 healthy controls were studied by means of a 30 s treadmill program with a system of 96 OptoGait LED sensors. Results: Significant differences were found between the two groups and both feet in stride length and stride time, gait cycle duration and gait cadence (in all cases p < 0.05). Conclusions: pronating foot posture alters normal gait patterns measured by OptoGait; this finding presents imbalance in gait as an underlying factor. Prevention of this alteration could be considered in relation to its relationship to the risk of falling in future investigations.

“…[ 5 , 20 , 21 ]. The OptoGait sensor system is commonly used to accurately monitor spatiotemporal gait patterns and, thus, compensating for alterations involving a deficit in motor control and balance before and after an intervention [ 2 , 5 , 7 , 22 , 23 ].…”

“…Once it was detected, it was the one that was considered during the 30 s (sec) that lasted the measurement procedure according to protocol [ 11 ]. The OptoGait optical data sensor system was used for its reliability [ 2 , 24 ]. Although the subjects walked for two minutes until they adapted to the situation, only the last 30 s were evaluated.…”

“…Chronic low back pain is characterized by its development in a period of more than 3 months and being the second cause of work disability worldwide. Its approach is complex and sometimes its etiological factor cannot be identified, attributing it to chronic nonspecific low back pain (CLBP) [ 1 , 2 ].…”

“…Various research argues that subjects with CLBP modify spatiotemporal gait parameters (step length, stride length, speed or cadence), altering this balance as a compensation mechanism for antalgic purposes [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ], consequently, making the subject fearful and gait unstable, possibly creating a predisposition to the negative effects of a sedentary life (obesity, diabetes, depression, etc.) [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”

Chronic low back pain and biomechanical walking imbalances are closely related. It is relevant to identify if there are alterations in spatiotemporal gait patterns in subjects with CLBP (cases) versus healthy subjects (controls) to plan training interventions of motor control gait patterns, and thus allowing normal physical activity of the individual. This study is intended to identify if spatiotemporal alterations occur in the gait cycle in CLBP subjects (cases) compared with a control group (healthy patients) analyzed with an OptoGait LED sensors gait program. Method: A total of n = 147 participants: n = 75 cases (CLBP) and n = 72 healthy controls subjects were studied with OptoGait gait program. Results: Significant differences were found between the two groups and both feet in foot stride, for the differences of the total stride and contact, for gait cadence and total stride length of the gait cycle (p < 0.05). Conclusions: CLBP may alter some normal gait patterns measured by OptoGait; this finding presents imbalances in gait cycle as an underlying factor. The gait is part of daily life of any individual and it is an important physical activity in relation to the maintenance of an optimal state of health. In addition, future studies are deemed necessary.
