Analyzing gait is a vital skill in diagnosing mobility disorders and planning rehabilitation strategies. This book presents a step-by-step approach to observing, measuring, and interpreting human walking patterns. It explains normal and pathological gait, with case studies linking theory to clinical practice. Technical tools like video gait analysis and pressure mapping are also introduced. Suitable for physiotherapists, podiatrists, and movement scientists, it enhances precision in gait evaluation and correction.
