Product Description
Product Description
Gait analysis contributes significantly to the management of patients with a number of medical conditions, including cerebral palsy. This book, now in its third edition, is widely used and respected throughout the world, since it makes this potentially difficult subject easy to understand. It begins with the basic sciences of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics, and goes on to explain normal and pathological gait. It covers the wide range of methods available to study gait, from the unaided eye to powerful computer-television systems. The book is accompanied by an interactive multimedia CD-ROM, with gait data from both a normal subject and a patient.

Good For the Fundamentals & More,
By Douglas P. Murphy "Author, The Griffon Trilog... (Charlottesville) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: An Introduction to Gait Analysis, 4e (Paperback)
This book takes you through the various phases of gait, the determinants of gait and then through gait deviations and pathology with simplicity and clarity for the most part. In reading about gait it is easy to get lost in a discussion of various force vectors, and this book strives and succeeds for the most part in keeping the reader out of such a morass. The book continues beyond gait deviations to discuss gait labs and also cutting edge subjects in gait. Good background reading for anyone with a need or interest in this kind of information.

reference library must have,
By Dr. Gleason - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: An Introduction to Gait Analysis, 4e (Paperback)
This was a great text in preparing for the CCSP and DACBSP exams. It's a more comprehensive text then a simple chapter of a sports injury textbook devoted toward the topic of gait analysis which is common. I would recommend every sports physician, ATC, PT, sports chiropractor and corrective exercise specialist to have this text in their reference library.
