Gait Analysis
Even though the human eye is skilled, it is not capable of examining all joint movements simultaneously for the fast movements of walking. Therefore, there are some situations where gait analysis is necessary.
These include:
-
Better understanding the fine details of movement and their relationship with each other, and more accurately determining the segment or joint that causes the disorder in walking,
-
Determining the difference between pathological and compensatory mechanisms during dynamic activities,
-
Choosing the appropriate treatment method,
-
Evaluating and recording the selected treatment correctly and objectively,
-
Taking objective, repeatable measurements to conduct academic studies for diagnosis and treatment,
-
Providing definitive and reliable information about both visual aspects of walking and power and energy consumption, thus being effective in developing new treatment techniques, comparing them with other treatment techniques, and thus improving patients with newer and more appropriate treatment methods,
-
Avoiding errors arising from the difficulty of remembering previous clinical observations,
-
Facilitating clinical discussion among workers thanks to quickly accessible data.
