GAIT ANALYSIS & CLINICAL APPLICATION

GAIT ANALYSIS & CLINICAL APPLICATION (eBook)

Description

“Gait Analysis & Clinical Application” is a comprehensive and clinically oriented textbook that provides an in-depth understanding of human gait, its biomechanics, and its application in physiotherapy and rehabilitation sciences. This book bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world clinical practice, making it an essential resource for students, clinicians, and researchers in the field of physiotherapy and allied health sciences.
Human gait is a complex and highly coordinated activity involving the integration of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary systems. Any alteration in this system can significantly affect mobility, independence, and quality of life. This book systematically explores gait from its fundamental principles to advanced clinical applications, enabling readers to develop strong analytical and clinical reasoning skills.
The book is structured in a logical progression, beginning with the basics of gait and advancing through biomechanics, clinical assessment, pathological gait patterns, and rehabilitation strategies. It covers key topics such as gait cycle, kinematics and kinetics, determinants of gait, observational and instrumented gait analysis, energy expenditure, and functional activities like stair climbing and advanced locomotion.
