Gait Analysis and Orthoses Laboratory
A.Y. 2023/2024
Learning objectives
Learn, in detail, the development of human walking, knowing the difference between walking and running. Learn the different phases of the development by connecting them to muscle physiology, biomechanics and pathomechanics
Expected learning outcomes
Students must demonstrate to know, in the smallest details, the dynamics of the human step, knowing how to distinguish normal from pathological walking and draw up a therapeutic plan including re-education and / or orthotic therapy
