Table 2.

Spatiotemporal gait parameters.

Parameter Description Unit
Velocity Walking speed = distance per time cm/s
Cadence Steps per minute steps/min
Base of support Step width = perpendicular distance between two points on both feet measured during two consecutive steps m
Step length Distance between ground contact of one foot and the next subsequent ground contact of the opposite foot in the direction of progression m
Stride length Distance between ground contact of one foot and the next subsequent ground contact of the same foot in the direction of progression m
Step time Time between ground contact of one foot and the next subsequent ground contact of the opposite foot s
Single-stance time Time during gait cycle while one foot is on the ground s
Double-stance time Time during gait cycle while two feet are on the ground s
Total stance time Time that passes during single and double support of the stance phase of one extremity during a gait cycle s
eGVI enhanced gait variability index (includes 5 spatiotemporal gait parameters: step time, step length, step velocity, total stance time, single-stance time)
