    Use of a GPS-Embedded Accelerometer to Evaluate the Complexity of the Running Gait. Part 2: Effects of Fatiguing Activity
    Tegarden, David P.; Williams, Jay H.; Jaskowak, Daniel J. (2019-01-03)
    In the companion study, we report a new approach for analyzing gait complexity and the structure of gait variability (12). Previous studies show that the fractal scaling index (FSI) determined using detrended uctuation analysis (DFA) is reduced by neuromuscular disorders (6) as well as low back pain, fatigue, injury and overtraining (2, 5, 8, 10), indicating a less healthy gait (1). On the other hand, physical training increases DFA (9).
