Backward gait cycle. The midpoint of the iliac spine was plotted as a representative marker for all events. The events were marked as initial contact (IC), opposite toe-off (OT), opposite initial contact (OI), toe-off (TO), and the subsequent IC. The phases of the gait cycle were estimated using mid-iliac-spine plots. Double support phase (DSP) is the period from IC to OT and the period from OI to TO, and single support phase (SSP) is the period from OT to OI. Stance phase (StP) refers to the total of DSP and SSP, while swing phase (SwP) refers to the period from TO to IC.
