Advance Gait Analysis in Clinical Assessment

Areerat Suputtitada
2017 International Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Journal  
Advanced three dimensions (3D) gait analysis provided the quantitative information and objective data needed to identify and analyze walking and posture problems, load anomalies and muscle failure, which would not be measurable with normal clinical exams. The digital synchronization of different analysis tools helps to simultaneously compare, frame by frame, the patient's movements of limbs and muscles and force distribution on the surface during movement. The core of gait analysis is the
