An interventional study of Gait assessment using the GAITRIte walkway in Typically Developing Children, Talipes Equino Varus and Paediatric Orthopaedic, sponsored by Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust. Completed at 1 site in United Kingdom. Open to participants aged 10 Months to 18 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-10-07.

Walking measurement in children is important but there are challenges associated with obtaining reliable repeatable data in a clinical setting that is meaningful and easy to interpret. This study set out to develop a new way to collect, record, and interpret walking data that is suitable for the clinical environment. Developmental percentile charts were selected as they are widely recognised and easily interpreted.
The primary output of the main cohort of typically developing children is the developmental percentile charts.
These will be then used to present the clinical longitudinal data against a normal backdrop of developmental changes in children.
This has multiple clinical applications in many of the children assessed by physiotherapy at GOSH and more widely Nationally and internationally

Exclusion Criteria:
500 children aged 1-18 male and female will be recruited from local schools, after school clubs and playgroups. Each child will complete a screening form following appropriate information and consent process. Each child will then complete the walking assessment which takes 15 minutes in total
Device: Gait assessment using the GAITRIte walkway
Children will be recruited through their patient journey. Families who consent to participation will complete the screening form and the GAITRite walking assessment as part of their pre-planned clinical followup in outpatient clinics. One group of children will be assessed at one time point, whilst a second group of children with progressive orthopaedic conditions or treatment will be assessed at intervals to give longitudinal data
Device: Gait assessment using the GAITRIte walkway
10-20 walking assessment using the GAITRite walkway
Also known as: GAITRite
Gait data recorded via GAITRite software
Continuous numeric data summarising walking performance and characteristics
Time frame: For the duration of the study measured once for typically developing and at multiple clinic visits over 24 months for clinical groups
demographic and clinical outcome data
surgical history (where relevant)
Time frame: 30 to 60 mins to collect relevant data at a single time point, with an update to include additional admissions over 24months
Plan to share: No — Only summary centile charts for norms will be available with no individual identifiers
