Key accelerometry measures for understanding walking sway during dual-task exercises by Abdulaziz A. Alkathiry

“…A 3.5Hz low-pass filter and mean referencing were found effective in capturing these changes. Computation methods, such as root mean square (which quantifies the variability of COM acceleration) and normalized path length (which measures the distance traveled by the COM over time), showed sensitivity to detect changes in sway amplitude during dual-task conditions. …”
