Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the difference between the hemiplegic patients and controls with the newly developed three demensional electrogoniometer gait analysis program. Methods: The basic kinematic data of hip, knee and ankle joints on the sagittal plane and of temporospatial gait parameters were obtained from 25 hemiplegic patients and 25 healthy adults with three-dimensional electrogoniometer Domotion$^{(R)}$ Results: Significant difference were observed between patients and controls in kinematic parameters. Mean maximal hip flexion of healthy adults and hemiplegic limb of patient was $32.89{\pm}1.8^{\circ}$ and $18.24{\pm}4.8^{\circ}$, maximal knee flexion was $50.32{\pm}2.4^{\circ}$ and $34.98{\pm}10.4^{\circ}$, maximal ankle dorsiflexion was $5.34{\pm}1.2^{\circ}$ and $1.22{\pm}2.8^{\circ}$, and maximal ankle plantar flexion was $15.63{\pm}2.0^{\circ}$ and $8.46{\pm}3.2^{\circ}$(p<0.05). Mean maximal hip flexion of healthy adults and unaffected limb of hemiplegic patient was $32.89{\pm}1.8^{\circ}$ and $28.36{\pm}6.6^{\circ}$, and maximal ankle plantar flexion was $15.63{\pm}2.0^{\circ}$ and $8.62{\pm}3.7^{\circ}$, respectively(p<0.05). Conclusions: The gait parameters of hemiplegic patients showed significant differences as compared with normal gait parameters with the using of three dimensional gait analysis with electrogoniometer.
