An assessment of the relationship between the items of the observational Wisconsin Gait Scale and the 3-dimensional spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters in post-stroke gait

Gait analysis is commonly used in clinical practice to diagnose gait disorders and to define suitable, adequately targeted and effective treatment programs [1 –3]. Gait analysis is the primary objective in the treatment approach to hemiparetic individuals after a stroke, both in terms of kinematics and spatiotemporal gait parameters, because hemiparetic individuals after a stroke experience numerous impairments in their walking skills which are reflecte d in spatiotemporal and kinematic gait parameters [4–7].
