Product Description
The study of human gait is vital to the work of podiatrists, physiotherapists, orthotists and many others, yet due to its complexity it can appear daunting to the non-expert. Clinical Gait Analysis takes a fresh look at the subject, founded on the author's long experience of teaching and researching biomechanics.
In the course of a comprehensive review of biomechanical principles, techniques and clinical approaches to the assessment of walking disorders, Dr Kirtley strips away the dryness and obscurity that often accompanies such surveys and provides a clear, informed and stimulating account. Both theory and practice are brought into focus, and currently contentious issues are highlighted in order to encourage critical thinking. The multiple choice questions scattered throughout the book provide the reader with the opportunity to test their knowledge of some of the more challenging sections.

Customer Reviews
Highly recommended
This book has proved to be an excellent resource to aid my attempt to get to grips with what is a very complex area. I found the variety of illustrations and diagrams particularly helpful, representing information in a range of different formats, which enabled me to gain an understanding of the many elements involved in gait. The glossary provides a quick and accessible tool to assist when trying to assimilate the new terminology. I also liked the page layout, with clear headings and coloured tables. The key points at the end of each chapter and multi-choice questions help to reinforce the main points. I have no doubt that this is a book that I will continue to use for many years and I would recommend it to anyone studying podiatry.
