title: [Analysis of gait using motography in healthy children and patients with neurologic disorders. II: Quantitative analysis].
abstract: Light pattern recording of movements by Motografie results in data representing changes in space and time; single pictures of these curves can be analysed in detail. The method was used for gait analysis in two healthy children, in a boy with minimal cerebral dysfunction and hyperactivity, and in two patients with spastic diplegia. From describing all phases of gait cycles different variables were chosen to assess movement patterns quantitatively; thus, curves could be described by various parameters. Differences were seen between normal, mildly impaired and severely handicapped children. Results obtained are in good agreement with a qualitative analysis of pictures and with data from the literature using different methods.
