The Biomechanical Efficiency Quotient (BEQ) has been suggested as an effective measure of gait efficiency due to its correlation with oxygen consumption. Here we report the application of a modified BEQ measure to the gait data of children of typical development and children with cerebral palsy. The results indicate a strong correlation between the modified BEQ measure and oxygen consumption and a significant ability of the BEQ to distinguish between subjects with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy, subjects with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy, and able-bodied peers
