      abstract     = {Deficits in gait and balance are common among neurological
                      inpatients. Currently, assessment of these patients is
                      mainly subjective. New assessment options using wearables
                      may provide complementary and more objective information.In
                      this prospective cross-sectional feasibility study performed
                      over a four-month period, all patients referred to a normal
                      neurology ward of a university hospital and aged between 40
                      and 89 years were asked to participate. Gait and balance
                      deficits were assessed with wearables at the ankles and the
                      lower back. Frailty, sarcopenia, Parkinsonism, depression,
                      quality of life, fall history, fear of falling, physical
                      activity, and cognition were evaluated with questionnaires
                      and surveys.Eighty-two percent (n = 384) of all eligible
                      patients participated. Of those, $39\%$ (n = 151) had no
                      gait and balance deficit, $21\%$ (n = 79) had gait
                      deficits, $11\%$ (n = 44) had balance deficits and
                      $29\%$ (n = 110) had gait and balance deficits.
                      Parkinson's disease, stroke, epilepsy, pain syndromes, and
                      multiple sclerosis were the most common diseases. The
                      assessment was well accepted.Our study suggests that the use
                      of wearables for the assessment of gait and balance features
                      in a clinical setting is feasible. Moreover, preliminary
                      results confirm previous epidemiological data about gait and
                      balance deficits among neurological inpatients. Evaluation
                      of neurological inpatients with novel wearable technology
                      opens new opportunities for the assessment of predictive,
                      progression and treatment response markers.},
