Can the F-Scan in-shoe pressure system be combined with the GAITRite® temporal and spatial parameter-recording walkway as a cost-effective alternative in clinical gait analysis? A validation study.

The level of agreement in F-Scan plantar pressures observed between walking on a normal hard floor and on a GAITRite® walkway was very high, suggesting that it is feasible to use F-Scan with GAITRite® together in a clinical setting, as an alternative to other less cost-effective standalone systems. Although it is assumed combining F-Scan with GAITRite® does not affect spatiotemporal analysis, this was not validated in this study.
