Some thoughts for the weekend...................
In my clinical work I tend to use a vertical loading gait analysis system to record walking (dynamic) data of each new patient.
I look at footprint shape, areas of high loading (in comparison with the rest of the foot) and centre-of-pressure. I find the resultant information to be useful in the areas of;
baseline data, comparison studies with paediatrics, and patient education. Reliability and repeatability seem to be pretty good :) - (now THERE'S an unscientific term if you like :D !).
What do others think about carrying out repeatable gait analysis (using whatever system - I only use vertical loading because it's convenient and relatively inexpensive)?
Does anyone have any solid research which shows what a normal homo sap foot looks like when it walks on a hard, flat surface :confused: :confused: ?
