The main inclusion criteria were validated tools based on a conceptual framework developed to evaluate gait, validation design studies of observational scales in their entirety, and articles written in English or Spanish. Evaluators extracted descriptive information of the scales and the metric properties of the studies, which were further analyzed with <jats:italic>Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>QUADAS-2<\/jats:italic>) and <jats:italic>COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>COSMIN checklist<\/jats:italic>). <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Eighteen articles based on 14 scales were included. The populations were neurological patients (72.22%), musculoskeletal disorders (11.11%), and other areas such as vestibular disorders (11.11%). The most addressed items were orthopedic aids (64.29%); phases of the gait cycle and kinematics of the leg and trunk (57.14% each one); and spatial and temporal parameters (50%). All studies analyzed criterion validity, and five included content or structural validity (27.78%). Fifteen articles considered reliability (83.33%). Regarding the seven-item scale QUADAS-2, five studies obtained six results on \u201clow\u201d risk of bias or \u201clow\u201d concerns regarding applicability. Nine articles obtained at least a \u201cfair\u201d result on COSMIN checklist. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. A necessary compilation of the observational gait assessment scales validated to date was conducted. Besides, their characteristics and methodological quality were analyzed. Most scales were applied in neurological signs. The most approached topics were orthopedic aids, phases of the gait cycle, and kinematics of the leg and trunk. The scale that demonstrated a higher methodological quality was <jats:italic>Visual Gait Assessment Scale<\/jats:italic>, followed by CHAGS, <jats:italic>Salford Gait Tool<\/jats:italic>, and
