  • Gait-pace meter and methods of determining gait speed
    Patent number: 11624755
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to systems and methods of measuring speed and, more particularly, to systems and methods of measuring gait speed using a plurality of sensors. The systems described herein may include sensing units comprising one or more motion sensors for detecting a patient walking along a testing distance. In some embodiments, a controller may calculate a gait speed based at least in part on the testing distance and on signals received from the sensors. In some embodiments, an initiation input may be provided to activate the systems. In some embodiments, the initiation input may also provide a target to which a patient can walk.
