INTRODUCTION: Ambulatory turning is a fundamental component of everyday mobility and military readiness, yet standard clinical assessments do not examine turns, an important component of mobility. The objective is to investigate which demographic and anthropometric factors, and military status impact peak turning velocities during complex and ecologically valid turning tasks and to report normative data.
METHODS: Data from 94 healthy civilians and 40 service members, aged 18-50 years, were included. Participants performed a straight-path walk with 180° turns, the modified Illinois Agility Test (mIAT) with slalom, end, and middle turns, and a Complex Turning Course (CTC) with 45°, 90°, and 135° turns Peak turning velocities were measured using a wearable sensor placed around the waist. Multiple linear regression models were used to assess the influence of military status, sex, age, and body mass index (BMI) on turning velocities.
RESULTS: Military status and sex were significant predictors of peak turning velocities. Specifically, service members turned significantly faster during slalom turns while running and during 45°, 90°, and 135° turns, and female participants exhibited faster turning during 180° turns and slalom turns. We also report the normative values of peak turning velocities for each turn type, stratified by military status and sex.
CONCLUSION: Military status and sex were the primary demographic factors that affected turning performance. The normative values presented in this study provide a benchmark for clinicians to identify subtle turning deficits to monitor rehabilitation progress in neurological populations, and to make return-to-activity decisions for individuals with impaired mobility.
