Reliability of Kinovea in Gait Assessment in Multiple Sclerosis: a Pilot Study.

NCT ID: NCT06928194

Last Updated: 2025-04-18

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Total Enrollment: 24 participants
• Study Classification: OBSERVATIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2025-03-10
• Study Completion Date: 2025-04-02

Brief Summary

The objective of this observational study is to determine whether the Kinovea video analysis tool is valid and reliable for analyzing spatiotemporal gait parameters in multiple sclerosis, comparing the data obtained from this system with those of the gold standard, the GaitRite system. The main question to be answered is:

Is the Kinovea system valid and reliable for analyzing spatiotemporal gait parameters in multiple sclerosis?

Participants walked across the GAITRite platform four times without shoes and four times with shoes, while being recorded by two cameras simultaneously: one recorded gait from the sagittal plane and the other from the frontal plane.
