Abstract
Gait assessment is an important part of neurologic and orthopaedic examination. Visual gait analysis provides significant contribution to diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders, treatment planning and follow-up. However, three-dimensional motion of the segments during walking cannot be detected simultaneously in all planes. In addition to this, the physician does not have any information about the moment and power which are the causes of motion. 3D motion analysis systems have been used to overcome these limitations of visual gait assessment. These systems present motion, moment, power and electromyographic data of a gait cycle in the form of graphs for the use of clinicians. Physicians should have sufficient knowledge about functional anatomy, neural control of locomotion, muscle and motion mechanics and kinesiological electromyography to interpret these data.
