The Functional Ambulation Profile (FAP) Score, a global parameter of gait, is a performance index which integrates selected time and distance parameters, obtained during a standard gait test. The FAP score ranges from 95 to 100 points in the healthy adult population. The first FAP score obtained in an automatic way is that provided by GAITRite Walkway System. The GAITRite system consists of a portable electronic mat embedded with pressure-activated sensors. The aim of this work was to develop the FAP score from data acquired by a classic stereophotogrammetric system, and to compare it with the one provided by GAITRite. Results underline as, during normal, slow, fast, small steps and foot-drop walking tests satisfactory results were ob-tained. Less satisfactory results were obtained in compromised walking, such as in fes-tinating or in spastic walking.

Abstract
The Functional Ambulation Profile (FAP) Score, a global parameter of gait, is a performance index which integrates selected time and distance parameters, obtained during a standard gait test. The FAP score ranges from 95 to 100 points in the healthy adult population. The first FAP score obtained in an automatic way is that provided by GAITRite Walkway System. The GAITRite system consists of a portable electronic mat embedded with pressure-activated sensors. The aim of this work was to develop the FAP score from data acquired by a classic stereophotogrammetric system, and to compare it with the one provided by GAITRite. Results underline as, during normal, slow, fast, small steps and foot-drop walking tests satisfactory results were ob-tained. Less satisfactory results were obtained in compromised walking, such as in fes-tinating or in spastic walking.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
