Evaluation of Gait Impairment and Correlation in Patients With DCM

Sponsor: Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital

Summary

This study aims to evaluate gait impairment in patients with Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM) before and after surgery using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor. By comparing IMU-derived gait parameters with traditional clinical assessment tools (e.g., Modified Ashworth Scale, mJOA, and GRASSP), the study seeks to determine the effectiveness and reliability of IMU sensors for assessing and monitoring gait improvement and neurological recovery in DCM patients. This study is conducted outside the United States and does not involve interventions or devices subject to U.S. FDA regulation.
