What's the best textbook(/s) to understand normal gait?

 

I like Michael W. Whittle "Gait Analysis - an Introduction" ISBN: 0750688831

This text covers normal and, more importantly, abnormal and pathological gait patterns. A great little text that is easy to read and has practical examples of clinical gait analysis using simple technologies.

Jacqelin Perry and Judith Burnfield "Gait Analysis. Normal and Pathological function." 2nd Ed. Published by Slack Inc. It is very comprehensive and the parts on CP etc can be skipped if you are not interested in that.

 

I've got 3 or 4 different gait analysis books on my shelf, and the one I prefer out of all of them is Clinical Gait Analysis: Theory and Practice by Chris Kirtley.

 

I also have Kirtley's book and it is also recommended. Perhaps a little easier to read than Perry's but they share much in common.
