Abstract

Gait analysis is an important tool for diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of neurological diseases. Among these are hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) whose main characteristic is heterogeneous gait disturbance. So far HSP gait has been analysed in a limited number of studies, and within a laboratory set up only. Although the rarity of orphan diseases often limits larger scale studies, the investigation of these diseases is still important, not only to the affect population, but also for other diseases which share gait characteristics.
