Objective
[edit | edit source]
The purpose of this measure is to test the psychometric properties of a short form of the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) for the clinical measurement of walking function in people with balance and vestibular disorders.
Intended Population
[edit | edit source]
People with balance and vestibular disorders having difficulty walking
Method of Use[edit | edit source]

Marchetti GF, Whitney SL. Construction and validation of the 4-item dynamic gait index. Physical Therapy, 2006 Dec;86(12):1651-60.[1]
Evidence[edit | edit source]
The clinical psychometric properties of the 4-item DGI were equivalent or superior to those of the 8-item test. The 4-item DGI can be used by clinicians to measure gait in people with balance and vestibular disorders without compromising important clinical measurement characteristics[1].
Reliability[edit | edit source]
Validity[edit | edit source]
Responsiveness[edit | edit source]
Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]
Dynamic Gait Index, the 4-item Dynamic Gait Index, and the Functional Gait Assessment show sufficient validity, responsiveness, and reliability for assessment of walking function in patients with stroke undergoing rehabilitation, but the Functional Gait Assessment is recommended for its psychometric properties[2].
