Abstract
Gait analysis is the best objective measurement tool for monitoring rehabilitation. However, it has limitations to evaluate gait recovery. Previous studies have evaluated the effect of gait training using continuous relative phase. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of gait recovery by rehabilitation gait training on lower limb coordination. We analyzed spatio-temporal parameters and CRP values of hip and knee joints based on gait analysis data obtained by 3D motion analysis system at 15 days intervals in 24 uni-lateral transfemoral amputees participated in IRP. Our results revealed that walking velocity of uni-lateral transfemoral amputees who participated in the program during a mean of 107.1 days was 49.2% faster than that at initial stage. The walking velocity showed a 46% increase at the end of 30 days after training. In gait coordination, values of CRP-RMS and CRP-SD were increased and maintained in-phase pattern. CRP showed symmetry in both limbs at the end of 90 days after training. Therefore, CRP is a significant factor in the gait recovery process. Effects of various rehabilitation training methods can be determined through CRP analysis.
