Gait analysis is the systematic study of animal locomotion, more specifically the study of human motion, using the eye and the brain of observers, ...
Gait Analysis: Normal and Pathological Function is a textbook that focuses on human gait analysis and is written by Jacquelin Perry and Judith M. Burnfield.It is an updated and revised version of Gait Analysis: Normal and Pathological Function (1992), a text many consider [1] [2] to be a staple for the curriculum of education of gait analysis. [1]
Gait Abnormality Rating Scale (GARS) [1] is a videotape-based analysis of 16 facets of human gait. It has been evaluated as a screening tool to identify patients at risk for injury from falls. [2] and has been used in remote gait evaluation. [3] A modified version was published in 1996. [4]
Pedobarography is the study of pressure fields acting between the plantar surface of the foot and a supporting surface. Used most often for biomechanical analysis of gait and posture, pedobarography is employed in a wide range of applications including sports biomechanics and gait biometrics.
There are sex differences in human gait patterns: females tend to walk with smaller step width and more pelvic movement. [20] Gait analysis generally takes biological sex into consideration. [21] Sex differences in human gait can be explored using a demonstration created by the BioMotion Laboratory at York University in Toronto. [22]
For instance, a robust gait may be particularly important when traversing uneven terrain, as it may cause unexpected disruptions in leg coordination. Using a robust gait would help the fly maintain stability in this case. Analyses suggest that flies may exhibit a compromise between the most stable and most robust gait at a given walking speed.

Gait is the pattern of movement of the limbs of animals, including humans, during locomotion over a solid substrate. Most animals use a variety of gaits, selecting gait based on speed, terrain , the need to maneuver , and energetic efficiency.
[1] [2] His research and publication contributions focus on veterinary rehabilitation and physical therapy, including canine physical therapy, animal assisted therapy, gait analysis and motion analysis, the use of modalities such as extracorporeal shockwave therapy, electrical stimulation, and therapeutic ultrasound, as well as clinical ...
