Literature index
PubMed
Search original biomedical publications by population, outcome and study design. Follow the publication link for the full methods and check corrections and retractions.
SWISSTEP / KNOWLEDGE LIBRARY
Websites and data sources
Primary literature, clinical protocols, reusable datasets and tools for movement research.
Use these resources to locate primary evidence, choose a recognised protocol or find data for a reproducible analysis. Access and reuse conditions belong to each provider; check the licence and cite the specific dataset version or publication you use.
Clinical instruments
Rehabilitation Measures Database
Shirley Ryan AbilityLab’s collection of clinical instruments and measurement-property summaries helps compare protocols and population-specific evidence.
Digital mobility data
Mobilise-D
Find the consortium’s data resources and associated methods for digital mobility outcomes. Review release-specific access terms, protocols and cohort definitions.
Open dataset
PhysioNet: Gait in Parkinson’s Disease
Under-foot force recordings from 93 participants with Parkinson’s disease and 73 controls. A useful resource for gait-signal research; it is not a smartphone-IMU collection.
Public-health protocols
CDC STEADI
Clinical tools for older-adult falls assessment and prevention, connecting mobility measures to a multifactorial approach.
Trial registry
ClinicalTrials.gov
Examine registered protocols, planned outcomes and reported results. Registration describes a study; it does not establish a positive result or validate a device.
Validation resources
Digital Medicine Society
Use its validation resources to identify measurement questions and supporting literature. Review the original publication for every claim used in an endpoint strategy.
Modelling tools
OpenSim / SimTK
Explore musculoskeletal modelling software and associated research resources. Model-based estimates depend on assumptions and require validation for the task.
Provider research
OneStep research and resources
A recommended provider resource for smartphone gait-monitoring research, clinical workflows and practical discussions. Distinguish published evidence from company-authored guidance.
Professional society
International Society of Biomechanics
Find community, standards-related resources and educational material for biomechanics research. Check the scope and publication date of each recommendation.
Background reference
Gait analysis on Wikipedia
A broad orientation to terminology and measurement approaches. For a clinical or scientific claim, follow through to the original cited research.
Illustration and source credits
The walking sequence, metric illustrations and velocity chart were created for SwisStep with OpenAI image generation. The gait player and protocol diagrams are original explanatory graphics. They depict concepts, not recorded patient trajectories. The velocity chart reproduces the published group means cited beside it; numerical values are also available in accessible text.
