This text encompasses the work of Dr Jacquelin Perry in her years as a therapist and surgeon focusing on the human gait. The text is broken down into four sections: fundamentals; normal gait; pathological gait; and gait analysis systems. In addition to the descriptions of the gait functions, a representative group of clinical examples has been included to facilitate the interpretation of the identified gait deviations. The book includes detailed laboratory records with illustrations and photographs. Intended as a reference for health care professionals involved in musculoskeletal patient care, the text is suitable for incorporating into many athletic training programmes, university physical therapy programmes and gait workshops.
