The number of studies utilizing a split-belt treadmill is rapidly increasing in
recent years. This has led to some confusion regarding the definitions of
reported gait parameters.
The purpose of this paper is to clearly present the
definitions of the gait parameters that are commonly used in split-belt treadmill
studies. We argue that the modified version of stride length for split-belt gait,
which is different from the standard definition of stride length and actually is
a measure of limb excursion, should be referred to as 'limb excursion' in future
studies. Furthermore, the symmetry of stride length and stride time is
specifically addressed.
