Gait Disorders, Neurologic, Hemiparesis, Stroke Sequelae
Conditions
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).
Interventions
Qualitative and quantitative computerized and instrumental assessment of gait and posture.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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) |
