Wearable inertial devices have recently been used to evaluate spatiotemporal parameters of gait in daily life situations. Given the heterogeneity of gait patterns in children with cerebral palsy (CP), the sensor placement and analysis algorithm may influence the validity of the results. This study aimed at comparing the spatiotemporal measurement performances of three wearable configurations defined by different sensor positioning on the lower limbs: (1) shanks and thighs, (2) shanks, and (3) feet. The three configurations were selected based on their potential to be used in daily life for children with CP and typically developing (TD) controls. For each configuration, dedicated gait analysis algorithms were used to detect gait events and compute spatiotemporal parameters. Fifteen children with CP and 11 TD controls were included. Accuracy, precision, and agreement of the three configurations were determined in comparison with an optoelectronic system as a reference. The three configurations were comparable for the evaluation of TD children and children with a low level of disability (CP-GMFCS I) whereas the shank-and-thigh-based configuration was more robust regarding children with a higher level of disability (CP-GMFCS II-III).
