A summary measure for quantification of the upper body position (Upper Body Profile Score [UBPS]) during gait was proposed and used in 38 children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and 15 healthy children (Control Group: CG). Patients with CP exhibited higher values of most of the summary parameters of the upper body position than the CG. The higher influence on UBPS is by the upper body position in sagittal and transversal plane. A significant and fair correlation between UBPS and Gait Profile Score (a summary measure to quantify the lower limb gait pattern) suggests that altered upper body movements during walking could be associated with the presence of lower limb impairments.
提出了一种用于量化步态中上半身位置的综合指标（上半身轮廓评分[UBPS]），并在 38 名脑瘫儿童和 15 名健康儿童（对照组[CG]）中进行了使用。与 CG 相比，脑瘫儿童的上半身位置的大多数综合参数值更高。上半身位置在矢状面和横断面上对上半身位置的影响更大。UBPS 与步态轮廓评分（一种用于量化下肢步态模式的综合指标）之间存在显著且适度的相关性，这表明行走时上半身运动的改变可能与下肢损伤的存在有关。
