Lower extremity motion data may be received from one or more sensors. The lower extremity motion data may be used to quantify propulsion performance, which is used to calculate one or more gait characteristics of the lower extremity. A risk level of the lower extremity may be determined based, at least in part, on the calculated gait characteristics.

Detecting frailty and foot at risk using lower extremity motor performance screening

An instrumented trail-making task (iTMT) platform includes a wearable sensor and interactive interface technology configured to identify cognitive-cognitive impairment in individuals such as older adults. The iTMT platform may be programmed with neuropsychological tests for assessing individuals. The iTMT may provide information on visual search, scanning, speed of processing, mental flexibility, and/or executive functions as well as physical biomarkers of motor performance including slowness, weakness, exclusion, and/or motor planning error. Results of tests administered by the iTMT system may be reported to a patient or caregiver and used in identifying cogni-tive-motor impairment among individuals suffering from cognitive impairment, dementia, and/or those with frailty status, and/or cognitive frailty, and/or high risk of falling, and/or high likelihood of decline in cognitive-motor over time.
