Stroke Initiative for Gait Data Evaluation (STRIDE), United States, 2012-2020

STRIDE is an initiative based at the University of Southern California to create an inter-institutional, public database containing de-identified demographic and kinematic, kinetic, and spatiotemporal measures assessed via gait analysis in individuals post-stroke, to provide a larger and more heterogeneous research dataset than that typically amassed at a single institution. The data in STRIDE can be used to run pilot analyses and power calculations for research studies, design and validate statistical models to test associations between gait variables, provides data for simulation-based biomechanical studies in stroke, and provides data to assess the reproducibility of research findings, without the added data collection requirements.
