Computer systems for analyzing and evaluating human gait: A scoping review

Gait analysis is a key component in rehabilitation processes, enabling the detection of functional impairments and supporting personalized interventions. In recent years, the integration of computer-based systems has enhanced the objectivity, accuracy, and accessibility of gait evaluations. This scoping review maps the scientific evidence on the development and implementation of local and remote systems for gait assessment, published between 2016 and February 2025. The search was conducted in scientific databases (PubMed, Scopus, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, SpringerLink, ScienceDirect) and grey literature, following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology. A total of 100 documents were included. The identified systems were classified according to their technical complexity (robust or simple) and operational architecture (local or remote). The findings highlight current technological trends and reveal gaps in the implementation of these systems in clinical and community settings.
