Abstract Background Gait abnormalities have been reported in individuals with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome CFS however no studies exist to date investigating the kinematics of individuals with CFS in over-ground gait. The aim of this study was to compare the over-ground gait pattern sagittal kinematics and temporal and spatial of individuals with CFS and control subjects at their self-selected and at matched velocities. Methods Twelve individuals with CFS and 12 matched controls participated in the study. Each subject walked along a m walkway three times at each of three velocities self-selected relatively slow ms-1 and a relatively fast ms-1 . A motion analysis system was used to investigate the .
