Introduction

Gait analysis has useful applications for many conditions in both research and clinical settings. In a clinical setting, performing a visual gait analysis using a smartphone or tablet camera is quick and easy. However, this simplified approach does have limitations. Instrumented gait analysis offers accurate and detailed information on various gait parameters. In this course, you will learn about different methods of instrumented gait analysis, as well as the interpretation and clinical applications of the generated data.

Aims

This course aims to explore four methods of instrumented gait analysis and discuss how data collected can support clinical decision-making.

This course is made up of videos, reading, discussions and a final quiz. The course content is split into the following sections:
