Summary:We have been using the three-dimensional gait analysis system on cerebral palsy patients in our center. The Gillette Gait Index (GGI), formerly called the Normalsy Index, has been proposed as a summary measure that takes into account 16 clinically important kinematic and time distance parameters. The purpose of this study was to report the results using the GGI. Two patients with cerebral palsy underwent gait analysis, and their GGI was calculated. More involved patient (Group 4, Winter's classification) indicated higher scores. The GGI decreased after the surgical intervention. The GGI is a very useful and objective score when analyzing gait in patients with cerebral palsy.
