Abstract: In this paper a series of gait quantitative assessment indexes:phase symmetry index,verti-cal force symmetry index,equilibrium function index,and brake and drive function indexes are obtainedwith VICON 3-dimensinal movement analysis system according to the results that 40 amputees,50 cerebralpalsy patients, 31 hemiplegia patients and 19 paraplegia are evaluated and the differences between the nor-mal and the abnormal(p<0.001)found with these indexes. The quantitative assessment methed of walk-ing function not only provides rehabilitation level of patients and for checking therapeutical effects,but alsolaies the foundation of gait analysis to standardization and practicalization further.

Key words: gait analysis, phase symmetry, walking function, Vertical Force Symmetry, EquilibriumFunction:Brake Function, Drive Function
