Measuring Walking
Mac Keith Press (Verlag)
978-1-908316-66-0 (ISBN)
The book aims to describe the theoretical basis of gait analysis in conceptual terms. It then builds on this to give practical advice on how to perform the full spectrum of tasks that comprise contemporary clinical gait analysis.
Readership
Professionals from either a clinical or technical background working within clinical gait analysis services.
The extensive sections on data capture and processing will also be invaluable for those using gait analysis for research purposes.
Clinicians receiving gait analysis reports and particularly those who base clinical decisions upon gait analysis results (e.g. orthopaedic surgeons) will find it useful in understanding where the data comes from and how it can be interpreted.
