    title = "Conducting user research for development of gait assessment interface for incomplete spinal cord injury through user-centered design approach",
    abstract = "For most patients with an incomplete spinal cord injury, gait rehabilitation plays a key role in functional recovery. However, few methods are available to reliably assess gait function during rehabilitation. Therefore, an easy-to-use gait assessment interface was designed that provides more accurate and objective information than can be obtained with observational gait analysis, in a way that is more intuitive and comprehensible than laboratory gait analysis.

A user-centered design process was utilized to develop the interface. The paper focuses on the first phase of the design process, user research, and how co-design and user-centered design were used to identify the users' needs, expectations, and the context wherein the gait assessment interface would be used. This was done through conducting focus group sessions with physicians and physiotherapists and using interactive activity boards to obtain answers and facilitate discussion. In-depth and extensive information was obtained through focus group sessions and interactive activity boards. This information, as well as user-centered design practices, will be used throughout the further development of the gait assessment interface.",
