Abstract:

The objective data from the three-dimensional gait analysis equipment test is complex and difficult to explain in the actual evaluation. In order to solve it, the gait index is proposed. The purpose of this review is to analyze the most commonly used gait evaluation index in clinical practice and discuss its calculation methods, advantages and limitations. The results showed that Gait Deviation Index (GDI) and Gait Profile Score (GPS) were the two most widely used indexes, but the operation of GDI was complex; the selection of parameters of Gillette Gait Index (GGI) was poor in objectivity, and the application was limited; the electromyography data is very important in the complete evaluation of gait mode, but the combination with gait indices was not close at present. The influence of gait speed has not been discussed in researches about indices except GGI.

Key words: gait, measurement, evaluation, Gillette Gait Index, Gait Deviation Index, Gait Profile Score, review
