Study of the applicability of the Gait Deviation Index (GDI) and the Gait Profile Score (GPS) in patients with duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, using the MFM score levels as a clustering factor.
The results of the study indicate that gait variable score allows the detection of proximal kinematic changes in pelvis and hip even in the patients with more preserved motor function, assessed by MFM.
