GAIT

In 2004 the Motion Analysis Laboratory continued to provide state-of-the-art functional evaluations support of the clinical practice. Occupying 700 m² the Motion Analysis Laboratory offers kinematic and kinetic analyses of gait and other functional activities of the trunk, neck, and extremities. Eighty-three clinical gait evaluations were performed in 2004. The results from studies helped to plan and or evaluate the outcomes of clinical patients. A number of research utilize the gait and motion analysis capabilities of the department. The reader is directed Rehabilitation and Foot and Ankle sections of this same report for further details.
