Gait analysis techniques allow for the assessment of gait disorders and the effects of corrective orthopedic surgery. [20] Options for treatment of cerebral palsy include the artificial paralysis of spastic muscles using Botox or the lengthening, re-attachment or detachment of particular tendons .
Function gait training in children and young adults with cerebral palsy improves their ability to walk. [18] There is evidence that antigravity treadmill training may improve the gait and balance of those children with diplegic cerebral palsy, it may also reduce risk of falls in these children.

The Gait Kinetic Index is based on the Gait analysis, and was proposed by Veronica Cimolin, Pier Francesco Costici, Claudia Condoluci and Manuela Galli publishing an article on Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering Journal.

This gait pattern is reminiscent of a marionette. Hypertonia in the legs, hips and pelvis means these areas become flexed to various degrees, giving the appearance of crouching, while tight adductors produce extreme adduction, presented by knees and thighs hitting, or sometimes even crossing, in a scissors-like movement while the opposing muscles, the abductors, become comparatively weak from ...

Their work focused mainly on patients with cerebral palsy and stroke. The main problems of these patient groups resulted in a loss of the standard postural reflex mechanism and regular movements. [4] The Bobath concept was focused on regaining regular movements through re-education at its earliest inception.
