Testing the Tester: Specification and Validation Approaches

It’s a given that ATE test platforms are complex systems. Many HW and SW elements need to be integrated and work together for successful testing solutions. Too often we define a properly working platform within the context of the tools used to test and validate its behavior. Diagnostics, calibration, and special-purpose validation tools are used to prove a platform’s adherence to specifications...

The 4-metre gait speed in COPD: responsiveness and minimal clinically important difference.

Usual gait speed is a consistent predictor of adverse outcomes in community-dwelling elderly people. The reliability and validity of the 4-m gait speed (4MGS) has recently been demonstrated in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aims of this study were to assess the responsiveness of the 4MGS and to estimate the minimal clinically important difference (MCID). In 301 ...

Influence of gait speed on the control of mediolateral dynamic stability during gait initiation.

This study investigated the influence of gait speed on the control of mediolateral dynamic stability during gait initiation. Thirteen healthy young adults initiated gait at three self-selected speeds: Slow, Normal and Fast. The results indicated that the duration of anticipatory postural adjustments (APA) decreased from Slow to Fast, i.e. the time allocated to propel the centre of mass (COM) to...
