Course Overview

What happens during a normal gait cycle, and how can this understanding improve the assessment of gait disorders? This introductory course covers the biomechanics and neuromuscular control of normal walking.

 

You will gain a clear understanding of gait development, movement patterns, muscle function, and the principles of instrumental gait analysis.

 

Using state-of-the-art gait analysis methods, including musculoskeletal modeling, you'll learn to interpret kinematic, kinetic, and electromyographic data, thereby sharpening your clinical reasoning skills.

  • Clinical Gait Assessment
  • Interpretation of Instrumental Gait Analysis
  • Understanding gait biomechanics,
  • Clinical Reasoning in Gait Disorders
  • Motion Analysis in Neurological and Orthopedic Rehabilitation
  • The Application of Musculoskeletal Modeling in Practice
  • Understanding the Development and Mechanics of Normal Walking
  • Analyzing the Phases of the Gait Cycle
  • Interpreting Kinematic, Kinetic, and Electromyographic Data
  • Understanding Movement Planning and Muscle Control During Walking
  • Learn About Musculoskeletal Modeling and Its Clinical Relevance
  • Applying Gait Analysis Results to Improve Clinical Reasoning

Very well organized. Very informative.
Very well-structured and varied. Provides a very in-depth look at gait analysis.

Lots of details, comprehensive information
It's great that you can review the material as often as you like! If you don't work in the gait lab all the time, your knowledge of some topics might be only superficial—this course is a good way to refresh or supplement your knowledge.

Exciting, educational, and diverse
The course managed to explain this complex subject matter to me in a way I could understand, even though, as an engineer, I'm not exactly part of the course's target audience. I especially liked the various audiovisual tools used in the course and the care that went into designing it. Many thanks to the Foxstudy team!

The course was very intensive; it took me more than 5 hours to complete, and it really helped me understand the material.
I love studying at home and being able to set my own schedule
