Abstract
The Gait Profile Score is a sensitive measure for demonstrating the relationship between multilevel sagittal plane joint contractures and kinematic gait. Clinically, this supports the use of the Gait Profile Score as a simplified measure to understand the contribution of contractures to functional gait limitations. Monitoring knee flexion strength, and hip extension and ankle dorsiflexion (knee extended) range of motion may assist clinicians in prioritising interventions to improve gait in this population.
