Gait analysis is a scientific method that involves the systematic study of human walking or running patterns, often used in medical and biomechanical research. It examines the movement of the limbs and body during locomotion, providing valuable information on a person's biomechanical function, gait abnormalities, and potential musculoskeletal issues. Gait analysis can be conducted using various tools and techniques such as motion capture systems, force plates, electromyography, and wearable sensors. The data collected from gait analysis can help clinicians, researchers, and therapists in diagnosing conditions, monitoring treatment progress, developing interventions, and improving overall performance.
