Background Despite being available for more than three decades, quantitative gait analysis remains largely associated with research institutions and not well leveraged in clinical settings. This is mostly due to the high cost/cumbersome equipment complex protocols data management/analysis traditional labs, as diverse training/experience preference of teams. Observational qualitative scales continue be predominantly used clinics despite evidence less efficacy quantifying gait. Research objective study provides a scoping review status assessment, including shedding light on common pathologies, parameters, indices, scales. We also highlight novel state-of-the-art characterization approaches integration commercially wearable tools technology AI-driven computational platforms. Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted within PubMed, Web Science, Medline, ScienceDirect all articles published until December 2021 using set keywords, normal pathological gait, analysis, systems, inertial measurement units, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, insole sensors, electromyography sensors. Original that met selection criteria were included. Results significance Clinical highly observational hence subjective influenced by observer's background experience. Quantitative Instrumented (IGA) has capability providing clinicians accurate reliable diagnosis monitoring but limited applicability mainly logistics. Rapidly emerging smart technology, multi-modality, sensor fusion approaches, platforms are increasingly commanding greater attention assessment. These promise paradigm shift quantification clinic beyond. On other hand, standardization ensuring their feasibility map features human represent them meaningfully remain critical challenges.

Gait analysis is a systematic study of human locomotion, which can be utilized in variousapplications, such as rehabilitation, clinical diagnostics and sports activities. The various limitationssuch cost, non-portability, long setup time, post-processing time etc., the current gait analysistechniques have made them unfeasible for individual use. This led to an increase research interestin developing smart insoles where wearable sensors employed detect vertical groundreaction forces (vGRF) other variables. Smart are flexible, portable comfortablefor analysis, monitor plantar pressure frequently through embedded thatconvert applied electrical signal that displayed analyzed further.Several teams still working improve insoles' features size, sensitivity ofinsoles sensors, durability, intelligence control subjects' bydetecting complications providing recommendation enhance walking performance. Eventhough sensor calibration approaches been followed by different calibrateinsoles' sensor, expensive devices were used universal testingmachines or infrared motion capture cameras equipped labs. paper providesa design characterization procedure three sensors: forcesensitiveresistors (FSRs), ceramic piezoelectric flexible canbe detecting vGRF using insole.

There is growing evidence of excess peripheral neuropathy in pre-diabetes. We aimed to determine its prevalence, including the impact diagnostic methodology on prevalence rates, through a systematic review conducted according Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A comprehensive electronic bibliographic search was performed MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, Web Science Cochrane Central Register Controlled Trials from inception June 1, 2020. Two reviewers independently selected studies, extracted data assessed risk bias. An evaluation undertaken by method assessment. After screening 1784 abstracts reviewing 84 full-text records, 29 studies (9351 participants) were included. wide range estimates (2%–77%, IQR: 6%–34%), but majority (n=21, 72%) reported ≥10%. The three highest 77% (95% CI: 54% 100%), 71% 55% 88%) 66% 53% 78%) using plantar thermography, multimodal quantitative sensory testing nerve conduction tests, respectively. In general, evaluating small fiber parameters yielded higher neuropathy. Due variety study populations methods assessing neuropathy, there marked heterogeneity estimates. Most pre-diabetes, primarily origin, than would be expected background population. Given rise further consideration targeting this population required. Development risk-stratification tools may facilitate earlier interventions.
