Reviews"This ... text from one (if not the) international expert in the field of gait analysis is all that was hoped for and more ... This gem should ... become the definitive text in the field." -Sheldon R. Simon, MD, The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, "The author's level of expertise and clear, logical presentation make this text a definitive reference for normal and pathological gait. Instructors will find parts of this text appropriate for entry-level as well as advanced students. Clinicians will use it to refine their skills in gait analysis and to learn about objective gait analysis systems." -Suzanne R. Babyar, Journal of Physical Therapy Education.
