Description
Clinical Gait Analysis takes a fresh look at the study of human gait. Using an easy-to-read writing style, the author reviews the biomechanical
principles, techniques and clinical approach to the assessment of walking disorders. Both theory and practice are brought into focus,
and currently contentious issues are highlighted to encourage critical thinking. An accompanying CD provides an assortment of electronic
material to complement the text, including normative 3D data on a variety of activities and clinical cases.
