The author has maintained the clear and approachable style that established the first three editions., Gait analysis is the systematic study of human walking. Most of the literature in this field is highly specialized and very technical. This book, however, aims to brings gait analysis out of the 'ivory tower' of the research laboratory, and to put it where it belongs, in the 'real world' of the clinic. The author has maintained the clear and approachable style that established the first three editions. Highly readable, the book builds upon the basics of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. Describes both normal and pathological gait. Covers the range of methods available to perform gait analysis, from the very simple to the very complex.
