Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to validate the use of smart and widespread instruments to detect kinematic, kinetic and spatio-temporal parameters in gait and postural analysis in hemiparetic and healthy individuals. Device as single Microsoft sensor Kinect v2, wearable sensorized clothing and/or smartphone-type devices will be used; it is also planned to analyze and compare such parameters with those obtained through a technique of manual palpatory analysis. Finally the obtained measures will be compared with the corresponding ones obtained with Three-dimensional instrumented gait analysis (3D-GA).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
GPS (Gait Profile Score index) - differences between techniques
Time Frame: During movement analysis
% of agreement between 3D-GA (3 dimensional Gait Analysis - optoelectronic system) and Kinect motion analysis in the detection of kinematic data about gait collected within the GPS (Gait Profile Score Index)
Secondary Outcomes
- Gait cycle values (stance and swing duration) - differences between techniques(During movement analysis)
