Gait analysis

Gait analysis includes:

  • Characterisation of gait in normal children over the full range of clinically relevant speeds
  • Effect of electrical stimulation of the hip muscles in cerebral palsy and its effect on gait
  • Relationships between measurements of femoral anteversion, range of movement, tibial torsion and gait abnormalities
  • Relationship of passive measurement of hamstring length with pelvic tilt patterns of children with cerebral palsy
  • Role of gait analysis in surgical decision making in neuromuscular disorders
  • Use of neural network techniques in gait analysis
