ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This needs assessment survey identifies the priorities of the clinical and research communities involved with the use of instrumented gait analysis (IGA) for a clinical practice guideline on IGA use with children with cerebral palsy (CP).METHODS:
Thirteen Likert scale questions asked about the importance of topics related to IGA. Other questions addressed respondents' demographics, experience with IGA, patient populations, and gait laboratory characteristics. Several open-ended questions were included and analyzed.RESULTS:
The survey was completed by 43 physical therapists and 53 non-physical therapists involved with IGA. More than 90% rated the following as critically or highly important reliability and validity of IGA to identify gait pathology (94%); ability to longitudinally track gait pathology (93%); use in planning interventions (93%); use in evaluating outcomes (93%); and definition of IGA (90%). CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE This needs assessment survey identified the topic priorities of clinicians and practitioners who use IGA for the management of children with CP. These results will guide the development of a clinical practice guideline on the use of IGA for the management of CP.
