Résumé

Introduction This study evaluates the gait analysis obtained by Inetial Measurement Units (IMU) before and after surgical management of Spastic Equino Varus Foot (SEVF) in hemiplegic post-stroke patients and to compare it with the functional results obtained in a monocentric prospective cohort.

Methods Patients with post-stroke SEVF, who underwent surgery in a single hospital between November 2019 and December 2021 were included. The follow-up duration was 6 months and included a functional analysis using Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) and a Gait analysis using an innovative Multidimensional Gait Evaluation using IMU: the semiogram.

Results 20 patients had a gait analysis preoperatively and at 6 months postoperatively. 90% (18/20) patients had a functional improvement (GAS T score ≥ 50) and 50% (10/20) had an improvement in walking technique as evidenced by the cessation of the use of a walking aid (WA). In patients with functional improvement and modification of WA the change in the semiogram area was + 9.5%, sd = 27.5%, and it was + 15.4%, sd = 28%. In the group with functional improvement without change of WA. For the 3 experiences (two patients) with unfavorable results, the area under the curve changed by + 2.3%, -10.2% and -9.5%. The measurement of the semiogram area weighted by average speed demonstrated very good reproducibility (ICC(1, 3) = 0.80).

Discussion IMUs appear to be a promising solution for the assessment of post-stroke hemiplegic patients who have undergone SEVF surgery. They can provide a quantified, objective, reliable in individual longitudinal follow up automated gait analysis solution for routine clinical use. Combined with a functional scale such as the GAS, they can provide a global analysis of the effect of surgery.
