摘要：
A clinical assessment tool coupled to a walking aid for enhancing a therapist's observation-based gait assessment with use of additional objective and quantitative data such as acceleration, angular velocity, and applied forces. The assessment tool facilitates appropriate assistive gait device prescription, provides patients and therapists feedback during gait training, and reduces wrist and shoulder injuries with walking aid usage. The assessment tool is configured to detect timing and speed of walking aid, placement, angular acceleration of the walking aid, and amounts of weight borne on the walking aid.
