HIGHLIGHTS

•

The Movement Deviation Profile calculates the deviation of gait from normality.

•

Excluding hip rotation from the 9 trusted angles improves separation from normality.

•

The effect is small but significant in 3846 legs of children with cerebral palsy.

•

The effect on individual legs of patients can be much larger.

•

We recommend omitting hip rotation from the calculation of gait summary measures.
