BASIC
Normal walking: Movement sequences and muscle function
Our locomotion: Walking
Have you always wanted to understand the different aspects of normal walking and be able to interpret the gait analysis curves? Then this course is just right for you.
Course content
Thanks to new methods of gait analysis, such as musculoskeletal modeling, it is possible to better understand complex situations involving gait disorders. Reinald Brunner shares this knowledge with you in this course. By attending this course, you will deepen your knowledge of gait analysis. You will be able to use this knowledge for your clinical reasoning in the future.

Meet the teacher
Prof. Dr. Reinald Brunner
Head of Neuroorthopaedics at the University Children's Hospital Basel and the associated gait laboratory. "I believe it is essential that we understand normal walking and muscular control. Only with this knowledge can we also understand the processes that occur in gait disorders. In this description of normal walking, I did not rely on the electromyogram, i.e. muscle activity, but on muscle strength. This makes it easier to assess the type of muscle activity and its significance."
