A previous writers tries to tell us, that gait analysis with our own eyes and understanding is outdated in a high tech world.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.
An excellent easy to read and understand guide to gait. Uses very simplistic line drawings that easily detail specific parts of the cycle as well as how the parts all work together. A def for anyone that needs to understand gait and gait analysis.
Love this book! It reminds me of the Neumanns kinesiology - clear, concise and to the point. The book does not overwhelm you with too many words on each page, and the illustrations are very helpful.
An excellent medical reference for any one interested in kinesiology, orthopedic surgery, neurology and rehabilitation medicine. The author has written the definitive analysis of gait.
Don't leave your health and recovery totally in the hands of other people- be informed and you'll feel better in more than one way.
It was what I need and it was new and wrapped
A classic for any bookshelf.
