Integrate criterion for the evaluation of pathological gait based on the distinction of the pattern dynamograms of vertical components of weight bearing reaction at walking in norm and in injured lower extremities is suggested. In patients with different pathology of lower extremities the application of this criterion in clinical practice allows to perform the integral evaluation of gait using the minimum of informative biomechanical parameters. Suggested criterion could serve as an universal index for the evaluations of treatment and rehabilitaion results and may be used in research and clinical practice.
