4 Decision-making in Gait Surgery History & Physical, Patient Goals Gait Analysis: Kinematics Kinetics EMG Dynamic Pedobarography Pre- & Intra-operative Physical Exams Individualized Surgical Prescription to Improve Gait Radiographs: Hip, Ankle, Foot

5 Gait Analysis Without a Lab = Observational Gait Analysis (OGA) Role of Observational Gait Analysis: No access to 3-dimensional gait lab Frequent documentation of gait pattern change Child that cannot cooperate with 3D Gait Study Very young (less than 5) Behavioral or cognitive issues

6 Observational Gait Analysis Prerequisites Understand Normal Gait Cycle and Select Key Subphases Recognition / Classification of Common Deviations Visual Assessment Systematic Forest / Trees

7 Optimizing Observational Gait Analysis Modern Technology Mobile Videography Cell Phones and Tablets Structured Analysis Edinburgh Visual Gait Scale Case Example

8 High Quality Video: Your Key to Observational Gait Analysis Good observations take time! Videos help take decision-making out of busy clinic Permanent record

9 Principles of Mobile Videography Lighting and Focus Well-lit hallway or room with minimal distractions in background Perspective At least 20 feet distance for coronal At least 10 foot distance for sagittal Quality sagittal video allows for objective observational gait Anyone can get coronal in their clinic! 15 feet 20 feet

10 Principles of Mobile Videography: High Quality Sagittal Video High Quality Sagittal Video = High Quality Observations Panning camera Parallax Problems Cannot see more than 1 stride in-plane

11 Principles of Mobile Videography: High Quality Sagittal Video Camera moves with child with minimal motion artifact Allows for in-plane visualization of more than one stride May require specialized equipment

12 Gimbal Principles of Mobile Videography: Low-Cost Image Stabilization platform that maintains orientation in space despite inclines or rotation Nature Documentaries

13 Gimbal Principles of Mobile Videography: Low-Cost Image Stabilization platform that maintains orientation in space despite inclines or rotation Drones Geopolitical/ Personal

14 Principles of Mobile Videography: Low-Cost Image Stabilization Gimbal platform that maintains orientation in space despite inclines or rotation Selfie Stick with 3 Axis Gimbal $ USD

15 Principles of Mobile Videography: Low-Cost Image Stabilization Without Image Stabilization Hand-held Image Stabilization

16 Principles of Mobile Videography: Skin Markings to Improve Observation Optimal clothing and marking for gait analysis Tight-fitting swimsuit or bike shorts Marking of ASIS, Patella, Tibial Tubercle, and Achilles

17 Technology to Improve Your Video Observations Sports Performance Video Analysis Apps Allow for slow motion analysis Zoom function Can annotate with angles, lines, or shapes Split Screen and Imaging Overlay Options Hudl Technique Free Slomo Free Coach s Eye $4.99 Dartfish Express $6.99

21 The Edinburgh Visual Gait Score (EVGS) 17 observations/limb 10 Joint Angle Measurements 7 Gait Phase Timing Assessments 6 anatomic levels scored: trunk, pelvis, hip, knee, ankle and foot 3 planes of motion 12 stance phase items and 5 swing phase items

22 EVGS Scoring Six Stops in Gait Video Sagittal Video 1. Terminal Swing/Initial Contact 2. Mid-Stance Sagittal 3. Terminal Stance 4. Mid-Swing Coronal Video 1. Mid-Stance Front 2. Mid-Stance Back

23 EVGS Scoring Six Stops in Gait Video 3 point ordinal scale: 0 within normal range (mean ±1.5 SD) 1 moderate deviation ( SD from mean) 2 marked deviation (> 4.5 SD from mean) Score total of 0-34 per limb; 0-68 per gait cycle Lower is better!

35 Total Body EVGS Grading

36 Limitations of EVGS Proximal segments (hip, pelvis) are less accurate than distal segments (ankle, foot) Less experienced observers have lower inter-rater reliability GMFCS III patients have lower scoring reliability than I or II Agreement between observers between 64 92% Agreement to 3D gait analysis is between 60 70% Orozco et al. Gait & Posture 49 (2016)

37 Current Research EVGS vs Kinematics Cell Phone / Gimbel Platform MAC System Simultaneous Capture Refine Technique Other Software Platforms Additional Kinematic Variables Establish Clincial Boundries

If the value is zero, this equates to flatfoot contact. If the value is negative, this equates to toe contact.
