Clinical Gait Analysis: Theory and Practice by Chris Kirtley, PhD takes a fresh look at the study of human gait. Using an easy-to-read writing style, the author reviews the biomechanical principles, techniques and clinical approach to the assessment of walking disorders. Both theory and practice are brought into focus, and currently contentious issues are highlighted to encourage critical thinking. An accompanying CD provides an assortment of electronic material to complement the text, including normative 3D data on a variety of activities and clinical cases.
- Unique in its clinical emphasis and use of clinical cases.
- Concentrates on use of latest gait analysis technology.
- Accessibly written to provide a much needed clinical introduction.
- Contains links to access digital video footage to illustrate the cases.
- Multiple choice questions scattered throughout the book provide readers with the opportunity to test
- their knowledge of some of the more challenging sections.

This book is a breath of fresh air in what is considered to be a complex field combining various aspects of motion analysis into a clinical content … the self-assessment questions are a very good teaching method to assess one’s knowledge as the reader (especially the student) is progressing through the book. The appearance of ‘Debating Points’ throughout the book is also a nice innovative feature. It highlights ‘controversial’ issues that require further research without expressing the author’s personal opinion.
