Clinical Gait Analysis: A Focus on Interpretation
Basic and Advanced Courses
Sponsored by:
Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare
In Collaboration With:
Connecticut Children’s Medical Center and
University Hospital Pellenberg
Intended Audience
This course is intended for orthopedic surgeons, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, pediatric rehabilitation medicine specialists, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, engineers, orthotists and anyone who treats children who have gait deviations.
This three-day course features basic and advanced tracks. The basic track teaches introductory skills for analyzing gait and planning associated treatments. The advanced track is tailored to clinicians who have experience in gait analysis. In the advanced course, presenters discuss in depth the complexities of gait interpretation in children who have disabilities.
Both courses focus on interpreting gait data and planning associated treatments for ambulatory children who have cerebral palsy.
Basic Course Objectives
At the completion of the course, participants should be able to:
• Describe the kinematics, kinetics and electromyography (EMG) patterns associated
with typical gait
• Identify typical gait deviations associated with muscle tightness, bony deformity and tone
issues for children who have cerebral palsy
• Explain the limitations of, and potential errors associated with, clinical gait analysis
• Demonstrate basic skills in interpreting gait analysis data
• Describe a corresponding treatment plan based on gait-analysis data
Advanced Course Objectives
At the completion of the course, participants should be able to:
• Summarize how to use a problem-identification approach to plan treatments based
on gait analysis data
• Describe the influence of biomechanical modeling on the interpretation of gait data
• Describe lever-arm dysfunction and its effect on gait
• Demonstrate a basic understanding of the dilemmas of modeling foot deformities
and interpreting data
• Describe the mechanical principles associated with crouch gait and their influence
on gait data
• Explore advanced motion analysis applications
