Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Human movement analysis
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Clinical interpretation of gait data requires improved reliability and repeatability analysis.
  • A standardized procedure for data reduction is needed for effective gait data comparison.
  • Current methods for gait analysis may lack sufficient accuracy in measurement reliability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the reliability and repeatability of gait analysis using the Calibrated Anatomical System Technique (CAST) protocol.
  • To validate the suitability of extracting various parameters from gait waveforms.
  • To investigate the consistency of measurements obtained through the CAST protocol.

Main Methods:

  • Gait analysis performed on 20 able-bodied subjects using stereophotogrammetry and a forceplate.

  • An automated procedure calculated 124 parameters, including time-distance, kinematic, and kinetic variables.
  • Statistical analysis was employed to evaluate the reliability and repeatability of the extracted parameters.

    • Main Results:

    • The majority of gait parameters exhibited normal distribution and minimal variation, indicating good reliability.
    • A small subset of parameters showed poor repeatability, primarily attributed to experimental inaccuracies.
    • Significant correlations were found between several gait parameters and factors like age, sex, and walking speed.

    Conclusions:

    • The Calibrated Anatomical System Technique (CAST) protocol demonstrates high reliability for gait analysis in able-bodied individuals.
    • The automated extraction of gait parameters from waveforms is suitable and repeatable for most variables.
    • Findings support the use of CAST in clinical settings, with awareness of potential experimental error sources.
