TOHRC Walk Test

The WalkTest app runs a 2 or 6 minute walk test (2MWT, 6MWT), which consists of a person walking back and forth on a straight track of set length for 2 or 6 minutes. Following the test, biomechanical reports on step parameters, cadence, pelvis acceleration, and symmetry are immediately available.

This app uses scientifically proven methods that provides useful information to help understand how a person moves and their functional capacity. Details on the methods are in the publication:
