Clinical Gait Analysis 7.5 credits
The goal of this course is to use three dimensional gait systems to collect, analyse and diagnose gait pathologies in a variety of pathological conditions. Students will gain experience in computerised modeling of gait and in interpreting the outcomes of gait analysis to facilitate clinical decision making.
Course Contents
- review of normal and pathological gait kinematics and kinetics
- interpreting the results of instrumented gait analysis
- gait analysis systems including three dimensional gait analysis, EMG and pressure measurement
- practical use of gait analysis systems
- applied gait analysis case studies
