TL;DR: An overview of the common challenges facing WT and an A-Z guide is presented, focusing on key terms, aiming to provide a grounded and broad understanding of current WT developments in healthcare.

TL;DR: There are considerable technical and methodological challenges in conducting fNIRS studies during walking which can introduce inconsistencies in study findings and recommendations are provided for the construction of robust methodologies and signal processing techniques implementing a theoretical framework accounting for the physiology of haemodynamic responses.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to validate the APDM Mobility Lab (ML) system (version 2) against a pressure sensor walkway in younger adults, older adults and people with mild Parkinson's disease in the laboratory and identified that ML provided good to excellent agreement.

TL;DR: This review summarizes study findings, where increased cortical activity appears to be required for older adults and further for participants with PD to perform walking and balance tasks, but specific activation patterns vary with the demands of the particular task.

TL;DR: The evolution of gait assessment from observation and rating scales to wearable sensors and laboratory technologies is depicted to provide limitations and possible future directions and speculate the possible research directions by revealing the limitations and knowledge gaps in the literature.
