Product details


Product Description

Product Description
Beginning and building on the basics of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics, this text goes on to explain normal and pathological gait, emphasizing the clinical applications of gait analysis. The author covers the wide range of methods available to study gait, from the unaided eye to powerful computer-television systems and the book is accompanied by an interactive multimedia CD-ROM, with 'real' gait data from both a normal subject and a child with cerebral palsy. This new edition brings gait analysis into the real world of the clinic and will be an invaluable help to students and practitioners of physical therapy, orthopaedics, neurology, rheumatology, rehabilitation, bioengineering, and indeed all those involved in the study of human movement. Dr. Michael Whittle holds the Walter M. Cline Chair of Excellence in Rehabilitation Technology in the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and has honorary appointments as Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in the University of Tennessee College of Medicine. He is a qualified doctor, and has higher degrees in physiology and biomedical engineering. He has spent over 20 years running gait analysis laboratories in the University of Oxford, England, and the University of Tennessee. He previously worked as principal coordinating scientist for the musculoskeletal experiments on NASA's Skylab space station.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Beginner's Guide, 28 Jan 2003
Gait Analysis by M.W. Whittle is a great book for those interested in biomechanics, sports and general movement of the human body. It comes highly recommended for anybody doing a sport science or physiotherapy related degree. This book is basic yet covers everthing associated with gait analysis. It covers "Normal Gait" and talks about variations of gait caused by injury or disease for example, amputee through to cerebral palsy. Readers are fully informed about the many methods avaliable for assessing human gait included in this section are helpful tips to ensure reliability and validity of you data collected. After each section a full reference list is given to enable researchers learn more.

The additional CD-ROM enables readers to look at data and helps understanding of the subject.
