5.0 out of 5 stars Showing the fascinating complexity of Gait Analysis, Mar 8 2010
By Ulrich Vissering - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gait Analysis: Normal and Pathological Function (Hardcover)
A previous writers tries to tell us, that gait analysis with our own eyes and understanding is outdated in a high tech world. I disagree. As it is true for many steps in the process of finding the reasons of disorder and disfunction and working on solutions, as medical doctor or as physiotherapist, it is allways the core of real quality if one understands by himself and his education in the field, what some high tech apparatus tries to tell him, sometimes telling it wrong. So giving up all your knowledge and expertise into the hands of a computer, or even showing that you have no interest to get this knowledge in the first place, is a sure way to failure in the medical field. And by the way, gait analysis isnt some dry, boring stuff, in fact, it is fascinating to realize how very important it is to be able to identify the different stages of this very short moment, to find the fitting solution for your therapy. I am just a beginner after completing a first course in gait analysis lead by a german pupil of Jacquelin Perry, and as a doctor in a rehab clinic I can tell you, its very up to date. And talking about the high tech world, who is able to buy a technical system, the hard- and software for gait analysis, for example as a simple practitioner? Better take your time to get some education by experienced gait instructors, read this book and all what you need is in your head and hands, plus eventually a small camera to make a short clip for analysis and presentation on a Monitor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Learning a lot, July 27 2010
By FWBJeff - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gait Analysis: Normal and Pathological Function (Hardcover)
This books covers a lot of material but puts it in simple enough terms with illustrations so that it can be understood. I am not a student or full time biomechanist so this book has been useful and understandable (after looking up some of the muscle names).

5.0 out of 5 stars Walking and texting, May 6 2010
By Wilbur Hass - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gait Analysis: Normal and Pathological Function (Hardcover)
Ever wondered about what goes into being ambulatory? How humans got together the act of being bipedal? And what goes wrong sometimes? This book is a wonderful collection of data, well illustrated, about the mechanics of walking.
