We employed a new microcomputer based low cost method for the measurement of spatial/temporal parameters of gait in children and compared gait parameters of 50 hemiplegic children with 134 controls.

Walking is something most people do every day without thinking. However, for those with hemiplegic gait, even taking a simple step can be very hard. Hemiplegic gait is a type of walking problem ...
