Core Sets of Kinematic Variables to Consider for Evaluation of Gait Post-stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Instrumented gait analysis post-stroke is becoming increasingly more common in research and clinics. Although overall standardized procedures are proposed, an almost infinite number of potential variables for kinematic analysis is generated and there remains a lack of consensus regarding which are the most important for sufficient evaluation. The current aim was to identify a discriminative core set of kinematic variables for gait post-stroke.

Methods

We applied a three-step process of statistical analysis on commonly used kinematic gait variables comprising the whole body, derived from 3D motion data on 31 persons post-stroke and 41 non-disabled controls. The process of identifying relevant core sets involved: (1) exclusion of variables for which there were no si
