title: The relationship between the Edinburgh Visual Gait Score, the Gait Profile Score and GMFCS levels I-III.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the relationship between the Edinburgh Visual Gait Score (EVGS) and the Gait Profile Score (GPS).
  
  
  METHODS
  Three dimensional gait data and EVGS scores from 151 diplegic children (Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I-III) were used for analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The EVGS correlated strongly with GPS (r=0.816). There was a significant difference in both gait scores between each level of the GMFCS.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The strong correlation of GPS with EVGS implies that any advantages of using GPS can also be applied to centres without 3-dimensional gait analysis facilities if the EVGS is used.
