Posture and Gait Analysis

■ A basic analysis of patient’s Gait and Posture provides information about the body and the capability of the musculoskeletal system to adjust to physical stressors.

An Understanding of normal gait and posture is essential for identifying and treating musculoskeletal pain. The objective of this presentation is to discuss normal Gait and how to assess gait.This will also help outline common musculoskeletal conditions and their association with abnormalities. Awareness about pain that arises from faulty Gait and posture will assist in shifting focus away from structural diagnoses and unhelpful radiological investigations.

Gait Analysis

■ Gait Analysis is comparable to an X-Ray or Blood test.It is a powerful investigation tool which together with patient’s History and physical examination may be used to assess and diagnose musculoskeletal pain and predict successful treatment of pathologies.

■ The lower limbs and pelvis has three main functions throughout the gait cycle:

1) Shock Absorption as soon as heel hits the ground.2) Maintenance of stability while superior segments are changing

position and posture.3) Propulsion.

Abnormal Gait

■ Musculoskeletal Pain comprise an important public health problem due to high impact on disability,sickness absence and work disability and health care costs.

■ While assessing Gait it is important that problem affecting one body part can lead to problem elsewhere.A deformity in one part can be compensated elsewhere.

■ Due to complex interactions of human body parts in movement,there is limited research showing causation between abnormal gait and posture and musculoskeletal pain.
