OBSERVATIONAL GAIT ANALYSIS - 4th EDITION
$27.00

Observational Gait Analysis is written to assist physical therapists and physicians to effectively evaluate pathological gait. It presents a method of gait analysis which can easily be applied in the clinic. The first edition, Normal and Pathological Gait Syllabus, was published in 1981. In 1989, the Observational Gait Analysis Handbook was published. The 4th edition contains changes in the normal joint ranges of motion as a result of more sophisticated and accurate equipment. Muscle activity has been revised to reflect data from a larger sample size. The phases and functional tasks are defined, and a problem-solving approach to observational gait analysis is presented.

GAIT FOR THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST ASSISTANT
$15.00
Gait for the Physical Therapist Assistant was written to help the physical therapist assistant (PTA) recognize gait deviations and identify their impact on patient mobility. The focus of this book is therefore on the observable aspects of gait and on the functional importance of what is observed.
