| Abstract | The gait analysis history brought a lot of methods and methodologies. It became a standard to collect data and create databases of human gait characteristics. One of the reasons is to derive standard deviations to be able compare patients’ data. The most laboratories create their own databases to ensure objectivity in evaluation of pathological gait cases. Acquired normative data of lower limb anatomical joint angles were compared with normative data of three different world laboratories in this study. Methods of statistical characteristics testing were used for their comparison. The results of these tests showed considerable differences at the significance level alpha=0.05. It is evident, that there is still no standard database to compare gait data acquired in different laboratories. The trends are to establish standard roles for data acquisition to ensure objective assessment of patients’ gait. |
