Brief summary
The Validity and Reliability of a Wearable System for Assessing Turning Characteristics.
Detailed description
Subjects are reclaimed to finish several turning task under different turning angle. The wearable system is patched on both subjects' legs and waist, to assess turning characteristics under different turning angle.
Interventions
OTHERTurning
start to walk with normal speed, and then turn to approach the terminal under different angle.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Turning step count | pre-test and post-test within a week | record numbers of step during turning |
| Turing time | pre-test and post-test within a week | record second which subject spend during turning |
| Stride length during turning | pre-test and post-test within a week | record the distance of bipedal stride length respectively |
| Walking speed approached turning | pre-test and post-test within a week | record the velocity and change of velocity before start turning |
| Turning angle | pre-test and post-test within a week | record the total turning angle and bipedal turning angle each step |
