Gait pattern analysis and clinical subgroup identification: a retrospective observational study.

ABSTRACT: To identify basic gait features and abnormal gait patterns that are common to different neurological or musculoskeletal conditions, such as cerebral stroke, Parkinsonian disorders, radiculopathy, and musculoskeletal pain.In this retrospective study, temporal-spatial, kinematic, and kinetic gait parameters were analyzed in 424 patients with hemiplegia after stroke, 205 patients with Parkinsonian disorders, 216 patients with radiculopathy, 167 patients with musculoskeletal pain, and 316 normal controls (total, 1328 subjects). We assessed differences according to the condition and used a community detection algorithm to identify subgroups within each condition. Additionally, we developed a prediction model for subgroup classification according to gait speed and maximal hip extension in the st
