Gait Analysis and Postural Evaluation

Factors affecting posture: effusion, poor posture, repetitive activity, and soft-tissue imbalance
Inspection of posture includes history of MOI, body types, Janda's Lower Cross Syndrome, and postural types
Assessment methods for LBP include measuring leg-length discrepancy and palpation techniques
Muscles involved in LBP include erector spinae, multifidus, and gluteus medius/maximus
Common postural deviations include excessive pronation, supination, calcaneovalgus, calcaneovarus, genu recurvatum, genu valgum, and genu varum
Gait terminology encompasses step, step length, step width, stride, gait cadence, velocity, stride time, stride length, kinematics, and kinetics
Gait evaluation methods include quantitative measurements and qualitative visual analysis
The process of gait involves alternating between stance and swing phases, with specific characteristics for each phase
Efficient gait characteristics include minimal side-to-side motion, maximum forward motion, and a sinusoidal curve for center of gravity
Running phases involve stance and swing, with specific joint movements and triplanar ground reaction forces
Differences between running and walking gait include flight phase, ground reaction forces, and stance phase timing
Interventions for gait deviations include guided cue words, strength training, flexibility exercises, and different shoes
