I am looking for a valid and reliable wearable sensor system for gait analysis, for both clinical and research settings, what are the good brands and companies you recommend?

Dear Amir Beltagi ,
if you are looking for already validated wearable sensor systems, providing you with gait analysis metrics, I would suggest you to take a look at the following solutions:
APDM - https://apdm.com/mobility/
GAIT UP - https://www.gaitup.com/
On the other hand, if you need only the hardware part and you want to develop the gait analysis algorithms by yourself, then you will save a lot of money.
In this latter case, you can take a look at the following wearable motion sensors:
SHIMMER - https://shimmersensing.com/
NORDIC THINGY 52 or 91 - https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-hardware/Nordic-Thingy-52
Dear Amir Beltagi
For simple gait analyses, I would recommend using the BTS G-WALK® (BTS Bioengineering S.p.A., Garbagnate Milanese, Italy) inertial sensor (https://www.btsbioengineering.com/products/g-walk-inertial-motion-system/). The BTS G-WALK® sensor delivers valid (Article Concurrent Validity of a Commercial Wireless Trunk Tri-Axial...

, https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/jetr/issue/56637/737232) spatiotemporal gait parameters (including gait speed, stride duration, stride length, stance time, swing time, single support time, or double support time), is very simple to use, and has different clinical tests integrated (including timed up and go, and six minute walking test).If you are interested in more detailed spatiotemporal gait parameters (sample report see https://research.gaitup.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Gait-Sample-Report.pdf), asymetric gait (e.g. hemiparetic gait), or investigate populations where there is only limited vertical movement in the center of mass (e.g. shuffling gait), I recommend using the Physilog® sensors of the company Gait Up (https://physilog.com), as already suggested by Luigi Borzí .
Dear Amir Beltagi
I would recommend Xsens. https://www.xsens.com/motion-capture
I have great experience working with optical systems as well as IMUS. Xsens a sensor-based technology helps a lot in many ways. Also, you can get spatial and temporal parameters as a gait report from the Xsens motion cloud within seconds.
