There is a need for some form of objective assessment of gait which can be used clinically. A method which measures the temporal and distance factors has been employed to assess the gait of patients. Variables have been selected which reflect the gait symmetry and others have been chosen which show the speed of walking and how this is achieved. The method of presentation of results is discussed with particular attention to the use of these results in monitoring the progress of the patient.
