"Observational Gait Analysis is written to assist physical therapists and physicians to effectively evaluate pathological gait using a method of gait analysis that can easily be applied in the clinic. This fourth edition contains changes in the joint motions that reflect a larger sample of subjects. Additionally, data reflecting the normal variability in motion throughout the gait cycle have been added.

Summary

"Observational Gait Analysis is written to assist physical therapists and physicians to effectively evaluate pathological gait using a method of gait analysis that can easily be applied in the clinic. This fourth edition contains changes in the joint motions that reflect a larger sample of subjects. Additionally, data reflecting the normal variability in motion throughout the gait cycle have been added. Muscle activity has been revised to include data from a larger sample of subjects, and for a greater number of muscles. Additionally, the period of peak electromyographic activity for each muscle has been added to provide insight into the changing demands on each muscle throughout the gait cycle. Joint torque data has been updated to reflect an expanded database derived using inverse dynamics. Normative stride characteristic data also been included (velocity, stride length and cadence). Consistent with the previous edition, the phases and functional tasks are defined, and a problem solving approach to observational gait analysis is presented."--adapted from Preface, page 6.
