Abstract :
[en] Introduction - Objective: Walking speed measured according to the T25FW is the most widely used descriptor of gait in MS clinical research and practice but other dimensions influencing gait variance exist according to alternative gait analysis methods. The relative importance of these different dimensions of gait relatively to its variance is unknown. Methods: We measured the performances of persons with MS and healthy subjects on the T25FW and the Timed 20-Meter Walk (T20MW) performed in tandem with a new gait analysis system (GAIMS). We performed a factorial analysis of variance to underline the main dimensions influencing gait variance and observed their composition. Findings - Conclusion: The main factor influencing gait variance in conventional walk tests is mostly composed of features related to walking speed. Balance, gait asymmetry and variability also participate to this variance but to a lesser extent. The inverse is observed in tests performed in tandem gait.
