Gait disturbances recognition for some orthopaedic and neurological diseases diagnosis

The study was based on many experiments of gait characteristics analysis, finally on observations of 117 patients suffering from motor disturbances. Among them were 42 cases with hemiparetic syndrome, mostly after cerebral stroke, 52 cases affected by acute sciatic neuralgia and 23 patients with recognition of Parkinson - disease symptoms. The control group was 16 healthy adults selected from medical staff - examined by pedobarographic equipment - PSW [4]. Based on these observations several classification proposals have been introduced. The majority of works concern gait disturbances investigations for three remarkable neurological diseases. They provide us with new diagnostic techniques based on some gait measures implementation.
