Edinburgh Visual Gait Score

Three-dimensional gait analysis (3DGA) method has been commonly used for assessing pathological gait (Brown et al., 2008). However, assessing gait using 3DGA is not generally available in all clinics (Brown et al., 2008). The Edinburgh Visual Gait Score (EVGS) was developed and used to visually assess gait deviations for ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP). The test utilizes observational parameters of each major gait phase and event on coronal and sagittal video recordings (Read et al., 2003; Maathuis et al., 2005; del Pilar Duque Orozco et al., 2016). It consists of 17 observational parameters for each lower extremity that can be scored on a three-point scale (Read et al., 2003).
