Modern Methods for Affordable Clinical Gait Analysis: Theories and Applications in Healthcare Systems
This handbook covers techniques, tools, and procedures for the study and improvement of human gait. It provides a concise description of clinical gait analysis, focusing on gait abnormality detection problems and therapeutic interventions using inexpensive devices. A brief demonstration on validation testing of these devices for clinical applicability is also included. Content coverage encompasses step-by-step processing of data acquired from these devices. Future perspectives of low-cost clinical gait assessment systems are explored.
This book bridges the gap between engineering and biomedical fields by diagnosing and monitoring neuro-musculoskeletal abnormalities using the latest technologies. The authors discuss how early detection technology enables precautionary measures to delay degeneration, through the development of a clinical gait analysis tool. A unique feature of this book is its emphasis on the challenges of conducting gait analysis in developing countries with limited resources. It aims to guide readers in setting up a low-cost gait analysis lab. Additionally, it explores the relationship between vision-based pathological gait detection, the design of diagnostic tools, and therapeutic interventions.
