“…In addition, trunk Right and left 5th metatarsal orientation is essential in maintaining postural balance and has been widely used to assess gait characteristics (Whittle, 2007). McDermott et al (2010) also suggested the range of motion (ROM) measures in a plane were more reliable than the corresponding peak values. Therefore, the dynamic ROMs of the knee, hip, and trunk in the sagittal plane, which were defined as the differences between the maximum and the minimum joint angles in a gait cycle, were calculated.…”

“…A diagnosis of CSM was made by a neurosurgical registrar or consultant based on the presence at least one objective long-tract sign, symptoms consistent with spinal cord compression, and confirmation of spinal cord compression on magnetic resonance imaging. Full details of inclusion and exclusion criteria have been described elsewhere (McDermott et al, 2010). Severity of CSM was measured using the Nurick classification (Nurick, 1972) and the Modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association scale (Japanese Orthopaedic Association, 1994).…”

“…The 3DGA protocol has been described previously (McDermott et al, 2010). SEMG signals were sampled from the following muscles bilaterally: rectus femoris (RF), biceps femoris (BF), tibialis anterior (TA), and medial head of gastrocnemius (MG), using double-differentiated pre-amplified stainless steel electrodes with a common mode rejection ratio of at least 100 decibels (dB) at 65 Hertz (Hz).…”

“…However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no objective criteria for the evaluation of gait analysis. The number of studies for gait analysis in CSM patients is small, and the indications for the surgery of CSM without severe paralysis still remain controversial [456789]. Quantitative gait analysis and the decision for decompressive surgery in the patients with CSM are important, in order to prevent severe paraplegia resulting from a fall.…”

Study DesignGait analysis of patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) by using a sheet-type gait analysis system.PurposeThe aim of this study was to compare the gait patterns of patients with CSM, evaluated by the Nurick grades, and to determine the threshold values of gait parameters predicting the occurrence of a fall by using a gait recorder.Overview of LiteratureGait disorder due to CSM may progress to severe paraplegia, following even a minor trauma such as a fall. The indications for the surgery of CSM without severe paralysis remain controversial. The quantitative gait analysis and the decision for decompressive surgery in patients with CSM are important in order to prevent severe paraplegia from a fall.MethodsOne hundred thirty-two subjects (normal, 34; CSM, 98) underwent gait analysis by using a sensor sheet. Measurements of gait cycle parameters included the step and stride length, step width, foot angle, swing phase, and stance phase. CSM was assessed by Nurick grade.ResultsAlthough the clinical symptoms were lacking, Nurick grade 1 had significant abnormalities in the parameters of velocity, step length, and step angle (p<0.05). Regarding the Nurick grade and walking phase, the length of the stance phase was increased to more than 70% of the entire walking cycle in Nurick grade 4.ConclusionsGait analysis was an objective tool for evaluating the gait stability. Our results suggested that when the percentage of the stance phase in the gait cycle increases to above 70%, the CSM patients have an increased fall risk.
