About

The purpose of the study is to validate the use of smart and widespread instruments to detect kinematic, kinetic and spatio-temporal parameters in gait and postural analysis in hemiparetic and healthy individuals. Device as single Microsoft sensor Kinect v2, wearable sensorized clothing and/or smartphone-type devices will be used; it is also planned to analyze and compare such parameters with those obtained through a technique of manual palpatory analysis. Finally the obtained measures will be compared with the corresponding ones obtained with Three-dimensional instrumented gait analysis (3D-GA).

Enrollment: 24 estimated patients

Sex: All

Trial design

24 participants in 2 patient groups

Hemiparetic patients

Description:

Hemiparetic patients assessed during gait and stance performance by means of different instrumental tools (smart and portable device vs 3D laboratory gait analysis) in order to evidence gait pattern; kinematics, kinetics and spatio-temporal data.

Treatment:

Diagnostic Test: Movement analysis

Healthy age matched subjects

Description:

Healthy age matched subjects assessed during gait and stance performance by means of different instrumental tools (smart and portable device vs 3D laboratory gait analysis) in order to evidence gait pattern; kinematics, kinetics and spatio-temporal data.

Treatment:

Diagnostic Test: Movement analysis
