Comparison of selected measures of gait stability derived from center of pressure displacement signal during single and dual-task treadmill walking
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Steady state gait dynamics has been examined using the measures of regularity, local dynamic stability, and variability. This study investigates the relationship between these measures under increasing cognitive loads. Participants walked on an instrumented treadmill at 1 m/s under walk only and two dual-task conditions. The secondary tasks were visuomotor cognitive games (VCG) of increasing difficulty level. The center of pressure displacement in the mediolateral direction (ML COP-D) and cognitive game performance were recorded for analysis. The following measures were calculated: (1) sample entropy (SampEn) and quantized dynamical entropy (QDE) of the ML COP-D, (2) short-term largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE) of the ML COP-D, and (3) variability of inter-stride spatio-temporal gait variables. Entropy and variability measures significantly increased from walk only to both dual-task conditions. Whereas, the short-term LLE increased only during the easy VCG task. No measure was sensitive to the difficulty level of the VCG tasks. The variability of heel strike positions in the mediolateral direction was positively correlated with SampEn and QDE. However, there were no significant correlations between the short-term LLE and either variability measures or entropy measures. These findings confirm that each of these measures is representative of a different aspect of human gait dynamics.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
