Gait and Posture Analysis in Hemiparetic Patients Through Optoelectronic Systems, "Smart" Tools and Clinical Evaluation (SMART-REHAB)

March 24, 2023 updated by: Istituto Auxologico Italiano
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).

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
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.
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.
Qualitative and quantitative computerized and instrumental assessment of gait and posture.

What is the study measuring?
