What this Trial Is About
A standard clinical gait analysis consists of observing walking with video (2D) or advanced equipment (VICON 3D). This 3D method provides detailed information about the gait pattern, but is time-consuming in implementation and data analysis. There are commercial 3D systems on the market that are used in healthy individuals and in sports. These so-called Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) may also be suitable for use in the clinic. In this research protocol, the aim is to test the usability of commercial sensors and technically compare them with standard clinical 3D gait analysis in adult patients with a neurological disorder.

Who Can Participate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Disorders affecting walking such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, incomplete spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or neuromuscular diseases
- Minimum age of 18 years
- Viosca score of at least 2, indicating minimal independent indoor walking ability
- Increased fall risk or increased effort in walking due to decreased stability during stance, decreased foot clearance during swing, inability to walk barefoot due to equinovarus, or fatigue caused by compensatory strategies
You will not qualify if you...
- Referral for clinical gait analysis due to problems other than stiff knee gait or foot surgery
- Severe communication, memory, or understanding deficits that would impair following instructions during measurements
