“…First, we have found that there was no difference between ROM of the paretic and the nonparetic limbs for the pelvic obliquity and hip flexion during the swing phase and for the ankle dorsiflexion during both phases (Table 2). Although this result might seem counter-intuitive, it is in accordance with previous studies that identified that curves of joint angles of both P and NP limbs present abnormalities (OLNEY ANF RICHARDS,1996;KIM AND ENG, 2008;DEVETAK et al, 2016;CORREA et al, 2017) the aim of this study was to determine the reliability and Minimum Detectable Change Moreover, the results of (PAILLARD et al, 2010) indicated that the presence of fatigue mainly occurs in the unaffected side, caused by the effort to compensate the deficits of the other side. Actually, the relevance of compensations during hemiparetic gait, mainly the circumduction and the pelvic elevation, has been discussed extensively in the literature (CHEN et al, 2003;YAVUZER et al, 2008;CATY et al, 2009;CARMO et al, 2012;STANHOPE et al, 2015) and our results indicate that the ROM of the corresponding joints might be used as measures to investigate them.…”

“…However, they focused only in the paretic limb and performed the two measurements in the same day. Previous studies that investigated the repeatability of the summary measures from kinematic angles of stroke patients (DEVETAK et al, 2016;CORREA et al, 2017) found out that there are differences between repeatability of the paretic (P) and non-paretic (NP) limbs and different.…”

“…The reliability of motion capture systems is typically evaluated at self-selected walking speed [1, 19–21]. This is understandable considering that kinematic assessments for clinical and research purposes are often performed at self-selected walking speed.…”

Reliable sagittal plane kinematic gait assessments are feasible using low-cost webcam technology

Three-dimensional (3-D) motion capture systems are commonly used for gait analysis because they provide reliable and accurate measurements. However, the downside of this approach is that it is expensive and requires technical expertise; thus making it less feasible in the clinic. To address this limitation, we recently developed and validated (using a high-precision walking robot) a low-cost, two-dimensional (2-D) real-time motion tracking approach using a simple webcam and LabVIEW Vision Assistant. The purpose of this study was to establish the repeatability and minimal detectable change values of hip and knee sagittal plane gait kinematics recorded using this system. Twenty-one healthy subjects underwent two kinematic assessments while walking on a treadmill at a range of gait velocities. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and minimal detectable change (MDC) values were calculated for commonly used hip and knee kinematic parameters to demonstrate the reliability of the system. Additionally, Bland-Altman plots were generated to examine the agreement between the measurements recorded on two different days. The system demonstrated good to excellent reliability (ICC > 0.75) for all the gait parameters tested on this study. The MDC values were typically low (< 5°) for most of the parameters. The Bland-Altman plots indicated that there was no systematic error or bias in kinematic measurements and showed good agreement between measurements obtained on two different days. These results indicate that kinematic gait assessments using webcam technology can be reliably used for clinical and research purposes.

“…The GPS is calculated from the entire gait cycle [139,140] and a can be divided into Gait Variable scores (GVSs) to show each gait variable's deviation throughout the gait cycle [139]. The GVSs is obtained by taking the root mean square difference between the joint angle of the patients and the average of healthy subjects [141]. Gait indices are commonly used to assess overall gait quality in studies using three-dimensional gait analysis [140].…”

“…Gait indices are commonly used to assess overall gait quality in studies using three-dimensional gait analysis [140]. The GPS has previously been used mostly in children with cerebral palsy [142] but have recently been found reliable and suggested as a suitable tool for assessing gait quality post stroke [141].…”
