Abstract

BACKGROUND: Among neurological pathologies, cerebral palsy and stroke are the main contributors to walking disorders. Machine learning methods have been proposed in the recent literature to analyze gait data from these patients. However, machine learning methods still fail to translate effectively into clinical applications. This systematic review addressed the gaps hindering the use of machine learning data analysis in the clinical assessment of cerebral palsy and stroke patients.
