P 042 - Gait complexity quantified using inertial measurement units in children with cerebral palsy

2018

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have various gait impairments, and consequently their gait is less stable compared to typically developed (TD) controls. Gait kinematics are also affected more in CP than TD by concurrent dual and cognitive tasks. Inertial measurement units (IMU) provide efficient tool to quantify gait stability, but the practical value of IMU based gait assessment has not been tested in children with CP. nonPeerReviewed
