“…In contrast, reduction of step length [6,7] and decreased cadence [19] were found in other studies. These contradictory results might be due to the difference in severity of spinal deformity of the subjects among the studies [28]. For example, most scoliotic patients showed mild deformity (i.e., below 30°in Cobb's angle) in our study, while the patients in the study of Mahaudens and coworkers [6] showed mild to severe deformity (i.e., one patient group showed Cobb's angle above 40°).…”

Purpose This study investigated side-to-side gait asymmetry in subjects with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Methods There were 20 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and 20 age-matched control subjects, who participated in the study. To minimize confounding effects, we recruited patients with similar spinal curvature for the scoliosis group, and all participants are right hand dominant. The participants were instructed to ambulate on a 10 m walkway while barefoot. There were two force plates in the middle of the walkway. The ground reaction force (GRF) and angular displacements of six segments (foot, shank, thigh, pelvis, trunk, and head) were measured during one gait cycle based on the right and left lower extremities. To remove the positional information in the kinematic data, the derivative of angular displacement in each segment was calculated. To evaluate the side-to-side gait symmetry, we calculated the cross-correlation of each bilateral gait parameter. Results In the kinematics, the scoliosis group demonstrated asymmetrical gait in the frontal and transverse planes compared to the control group. In the GRF data, the scoliosis group demonstrated asymmetrical gait in the medial-lateral (M/L) direction compared to the control group.Conclusions These results indicated that the scoliosis group produced an asymmetrical rotation pattern of the segments bilaterally in the frontal and transverse planes, resulting in asymmetrical GRF patterns in the M/L direction. This asymmetrical gait may be produced by changes in global postural control during gait and not simply by changes in control of only one or two specific segments.

“…Some studies showed a positive correlation between spinal deformity and angular displacement in the pelvis during gait in subjects with AIS [19,28,29]. These studies generally adopted angular displacement of segments in the comparison of scoliotic patients and healthy controls.…”

“…-Three-dimensional kinematic measures of the human gait provide useful data for clinical practice and biomechanical research (Baker, 2006;Syczewska et al, 2012). Increasingly, quantitative description of the human movement is used as input data in dynamic simulation of the musculoskeletal system (Delp et al, 2007), including joint moment identification using inverse dynamic methods as well as muscle force estimation using optimization based methods (Erdemir et al, 2007;Żuk and Pezowicz, 2016).…”

International Society of Biomechanics has proposed a general reporting standard for joint kinematics based on anatomical reference frames. Nevertheless, the gait analysis protocols based on this standard are still poorly reported. The purpose of the current study is to propose and preliminarily assess the potential of an anatomically based ISB 6-DOF protocol, which combines the ISB reporting standard together with a marker cluster technique. The proposed technical marker set enables full description of the lower limb kinematics (including three-dimensional ankle-foot complex rotations) according to the current biomechanical recommendation. The marker set provides a clinically acceptable inter-trial repeatability and minimal equipment requirements.
