| Popis: | Gait Analysis can characterize alterations in walking patterns, but results in a considerable amount of data that requires complex interpretation. The literature proposes some global indexes that represent the deviation of pathological gait from healthy gait pattern. In this study, the Gait Profile Score (GPS) and the Gait Variable Scores (GVSs) were selected among the summary indexes for describing gait pattern of individuals with Down Syndrome (DS). Twenty-four participants with DS and 15 healthy individuals took part in this study. From their gait analysis data, the GPS and the GVSs were computed. The Mann-Whitney U test compared data of DS group and control group (p |
