“…Thus, there is a relative agreement with the literature regarding the inter-rater analysis 7,14,[28][29][30] . Considering that the examiners are physical therapists with considerable experience in observational gait analysis our results agree with the results of McGinley et al 29 study, which the physical therapists analyzing recorded videotape of children with hemiplegia were able to make accurate and reliable judgments of the gait.…”

“…The EVGE shows a good intra-observer and inter-observer reliability, and almost two-thirds of the observations correlated with instrumented 3D data, which means a good validity. These data were not fully confirmed in a recent study with inexperienced observers [7].…”

A report which includes patient problems, descriptions of clinical and instrumental assessment and conclusion with suggestions for decision making, is a necessary tool for an adequate approach to the patient.In this paper we tried to define those steps we believe to be useful to produce a clinical report for patients with ambulation disability submitted to dynamic gait emg: Brief description of the patient's history; Description of the deformities; Observational gait analysis; Report of the items relevant to the deformities and/or relevant for treatment proposals; List of recorded muscles; Emg timing pattern; Conclusions leading to treatment proposals.The emg timing pattern can be useful for the identification of peripheral and central impairments (contracture, paretic, spastic, co-contraction components), which can significantly interfere with the gait profile of the single patient.We can use forms and tables which include emg signals features and recording parameters, physical examination and observational gait analysis notes. Attention must be paid for an adequate support of literature.

“…This type of analysis is often accompanied by a form or questionnaire that facilitates the extraction of relevant information from the video. Two such forms have been more thoroughly investigated and more widely adopted: the Visual Gait Assessment Scale (VGAS) [7] and the Edinburgh Visual Gait Score (EVGS) [8]. Both questionnaires target the assessment of children with cerebral palsy.…”

Abstract. Quantitative gait analysis is a powerful tool for the assessment of a number of physical and cognitive conditions. Unfortunately, the costs involved in providing in-lab 3D kinematic analysis to all patients is prohibitive. Inertial sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes may complement in-lab analysis by providing cheaper gait analysis systems that can be deployed anywhere. The present study investigates the use of inertial sensors to quantify gait symmetry and gait normality. The system was evaluated in-lab, against 3D kinematic measurements; and also in-situ, against clinical assessments of hip-replacement patients. Results show that the system not only correlates well with kinematic measurements but it also corroborates various quantitative and qualitative measures of recovery and health status of hip-replacement patients.
