ToulGaitViz: a tool for the systematic description of lower limb clearance during the swing phase of hemiparetic gait after stroke. A cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In post-stroke hemiparetic subjects, a systematic and quantified description of the shortening default and compensatory movements during the swing phase of gait is essential to guide treatments and assess the impact of therapeutic interventions. However, such a systematic approach does not exist in the current clinical practice.

Aim

The aim of this study was to present a method improving the quantification and visualization of the kinematics of both lower limbs during the swing phase of gait, more specifically the origin of shortening default and the weight of compensations, based on a tool specifically developed: ToulGaitViz.

Design

Observational cohort study.

Setting

Three-dimensional kinematic gait analyses of outpatients evaluated in Toulouse uni
