Gait analysis is an important instrument in various fields of clinical research and its protocols are intended to make kinematics interpretable for clinicians. Although they use the same nomenclature for joint angles, different protocols produce different results [1]. The purpose of this study was to compare gait events of the ankle joint to determine differences between two protocols.
