Walk Score's algorithm awards maximum points to amenities within 5 minutes' walk (.25 mi), and a decay function assigns points for amenities up to 30 minutes away. [57] Scores are normalized from 0 to 100. Walkonomics was a web app that combines open data and crowdsourcing to rate and review the walkability of each street.
Walk Score is a type of automated efficiency model focused on location efficiency. A Walk Score, as well as a Bike Score and a Transit Score, may be assigned to a particular address or an entire region, and the company maintains a ranking of the most walkable cities in the United States. Products for computer programmers include Travel Time API.
Gait analysis involves measurement, [7] where measurable parameters are introduced and analyzed, and interpretation, where conclusions about the subject (health, age, size, weight, speed, etc.) are drawn. The analysis is the measurement of the following:
Walk Score: 70/100 Very Walkable Where to go for a walk: The Harborwalk is a boardwalk lined with shops and restaurants that offers views of Georgetown’s historic harbor. Distance: 0.3 miles
Each item has a score range from 0 (good function) to 3 (poor function). [ 6 ] The total GARS score is the sum of the 16 individual facets, and the total score represents a rank ordering of risk for falling, based on the number of gait abnormalities recognized and the severity of any gait abnormality identified.
The Timed Up and Go test (TUG) is a simple test used to assess a person's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance. [1]It uses the time that a person takes to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn around 180 degrees, walk back to the chair, and sit down while turning 180 degrees.
The test takes 3–5 minutes and consists of walking 6 meters between 2 parallel lines measured 8”, 12” and 15” across in width. The test is scored based on number of stepping errors, i.e. stepping on a line (+1) or stepping over a line (+2), where a higher score denotes decrease performance and total time to perform walk. [2]
Neurologists may ask someone to walk as if they are on a tightrope to bring forth tandem gait. Neurologists sometimes ask patients to walk in a straight line using tandem gait as a test to help diagnose ataxia, especially truncal ataxia, because sufferers of these disorders will have an unsteady gait. Walking in tandem magnifies the unsteadiness.
