Top Articles In Gait Analysis

Gait analysis is the study of animal locomotion, especially human motion, using the eye and the brain of observers, augmented by instrumentation for measuring body movements, body mechanics, and the activity of the muscles. Gait analysis is used to assess and treat individuals with conditions affecting their ability to walk. It is also used in sports biomechanics to help athletes run well and to identify posture-related or movement-related problems in people with injuries.
