SMART-REHAB: Gait and Posture Analysis in Hemiparetic Patients Through Optoelectronic Systems, "Smart" Tools and Clinical Evaluation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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).

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Hemiparetic patients 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. |
Diagnostic Test: Movement analysis
Qualitative and quantitative computerized and instrumental assessment of gait and posture.
|
| Healthy age matched subjects 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. |
Diagnostic Test: Movement analysis
Qualitative and quantitative computerized and instrumental assessment of gait and posture.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- GPS (Gait Profile Score index) - differences between techniques [During movement analysis]
% of agreement between 3D-GA (3 dimensional Gait Analysis - optoelectronic system) and Kinect motion analysis in the detection of kinematic data about gait collected within the GPS (Gait Profile Score Index)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Gait cycle values (stance and swing duration) - differences between techniques [During movement analysis]
% of agreement between 3D-GA (3 dimensional Gait Analysis - optoelectronic system) and Kinect motion analysis in the detection of Gait cycle values (stance and swing duration)
