Quantitative Gait Analysis for Clinical Decision Making
Completed
Conditions studied: Joint Disease, Musculoskeletal Equilibrium
In brief
The overall purpose of this study is to develop an improved gait analysis system for the real time acquisition, calculation and interpretation of joint kinematic and kinetic information using linked segment body model animation to display and visually depict deviations from normal motion and joint function. Patients referred to the laboratory for clinical gait analysis are invited to participate in the project. If interested, subjects are informed by a study investigator of the study goals, procedures, risks and any benefits. A study investigator is responsible for obtaining informed consent. Data from normal subjects are used to establish a normative database. Data from other subjects contributes to the relevant databases of different disorders.

You may qualify if…
- Since it is desirable to include the spectrum of gait disorders that are typically encountered in clinical practice, inclusion/exclusion criterion for patients are limited.
