| Prerequisites |
No prerequisite is needed
|
| Main themes |
The first part of the course introduces the student to the theoretical concepts of gait analysis: kinematics (the study of limb movements), kinetics (the study of muscular moment and power during the gait cycle), dynamic electromyography (muscle activation), mechanical work and energetic cost.
In the second part, those theoretical concepts will be applied to pathology, with examples of patients suffering from central nervous system lesions (hemiparetic adults, cerebral palsy children, …). The impact of different treatments on gait variables will also be discussed.
Finally, a visit of the gait laboratory will illustrate those different topics.
|
| Aims |
In depth study of normal and pathological gait, including the investigation methods. At the end of the formation, the student has to be able to interpret a gait analysis report.

| Teaching methods |
Lecture and case discussion
