Abstract

Virtual height exposure coupled with motion capture is feasible to elicit changes in spatiotemporal, kinematic, and kinetic gait parameters in a child with cerebral palsy and should be considered when investigating gait in real-world-scenarios.

Keywords: biomechanical phenomena; cerebral palsy; gait analysis; motion capture; virtual height.
