- Gait analysis evaluates the way the body moves, primarily through walking or running, to detect abnormalities and understand movement dynamics.
- Observational Gait Analysis: Visual assessment of walking patterns.
- Instrumented Gait Analysis: Advanced methods using sensors, video cameras, and infrared markers
- Analyzes step length, stride length, cadence, and joint angles using advanced tools.
- Uses devices like infrared markers, sensors, and electrodes to evaluate kinetic and kinematic data.
- Detects abnormalities in gait phases: Stance Phase (60% of cycle) and Swing Phase (40% of cycle).
