Abstract
Over the last two decades the advances in biomechanical assessment of gait have been considerable. New insight into normal gait in terms of kinematics, forces around joints and muscular pattern have been widely reported, highlighting the complexity of walking. On the other hand more and more reliable instrumental devices and procedures have been available for quantitative measurements and today “gait analysis” is a well-established discipline worldwide both in clinical gait analysis services and clinical research laboratories [1]. Gait analysis is defined as the systematic study of human walking and its application can be divided into two main categories, clinical gait analysis and scientific gait analysis: “While clinical gait analysis has the aim of helping individual patients directly, scientific gait analysis aims to improve our understanding of gait, either as an end in itself, or in order to improve medical diagnosis or treatment in the future” [2].
