Gait Evaluation
Functional part of LE evaluation

Standing balance is part of this

Note gait deviations Compensations

Assistive devices

Assessment Gait Evaluation

Trunk, pelvis, hip, knee, ankle, foot When during gait stance/swing

Gait Evaluation
Important to differentiate primary deviations and

compensatory
Mechanism for deviation (cause) P&O treatable? If not, PT?

Gait Evaluation
Functional outcome of intervention

LE P&O must improve standing balance and/or

gait (preferably both) Before and after

Gait Assessment
Three groups Sommay, Sengkham, and Boudam

Go over Gait Evaluation Form Analyze gait video List deviations from form List possible causes List P&O treatment options and what each option will do to help the patient

SAAFO compensate for weak PF, DF, Inv, Ev, Some knee stability, Improvement ankle alignment, allow toe clearance during swing Why are you using this device?
