Gait Classification in Children With Cerebral Palsy, a Reliability Study

NCT06448065 | Enrolling By Invitation

• 1 other identifier: K00005123
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 100
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to assess whether gait classification patterns can be reliably obtained from video recordings in comparison with three-dimensional kinematic data. The main questions it aims to answer are: Are gait classifications from video recordings reliable between raters? Are gait classifications from video recordings valid in comparison with three-dimensional kinematic data? Gait analysis data from participants who visited the gait lab in the Karolinska Hospital will be used for this purpose.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Inter-rater reliability

  Assess inter-rater reliability between multiple raters assessing video recordings of gait in children with cerebral palsy

  approximately 12 months

• Concurrent validity

  Assess concurrent validity between outcome classifications from video recordings and from three-dimensional gait kinematics children with cerebral palsy

  approximately 12 months

Study Arms (1)

Children and adults with cerebral palsy

Children and adults with cerebral palsy who attented the gait lab for a gait analysis are included in this study.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 3 Years - 18 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

The population from which the study participants are recruited are ambulatory children and young adults with cerebral palsy. All individuals with cerebral palsy that visited the gait lab over the past 20 years are eligible to be included in the current study.

You may qualify if:

• Main diagnosis of spastic cerebral palsy
• Age 3 to 18 at the time of gait analysis
• Availability of barefoot walking data collected at the Karolinska Hospital gait lab
• Written informed consent of both parents to use the clinically collected data as research data

You may not qualify if:

• Main diagnosis of dyskinetic or ataxic cerebral palsy
• No barefoot walking trials available
• No kinematic data available
• BTX-A injections 6 months prior to gait analysis
• Orthopaedic surgery one year prior to gait analysis
