Test-retest reliability of an instrumented electronic walkway system (GAITRite) for the measurement of spatio-temporal gait parameters in young patients with Friedreich’s ataxia

The GAITRite system allows feasible and reliable measurements of gait parameters in young patients with FRDA. Lower reliability found for the weakest parameters was attributed to the software automatic errors and the ankle laxity noted in every patient.
