Gait and Posture Analysis in Hemiparetic Patients Through Optoelectronic Systems, "Smart" Tools and Clinical Evaluation

Recruiting
Conditions
Stroke Sequelae
Hemiparesis
Gait Disorders, Neurologic
Registration Number
NCT05801874
Lead Sponsor
Istituto Auxologico Italiano
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).
