The art of Gait Analysis has been attempted and used by many clinicians in the healthcare professions. Some pitfalls include the subjectivity of the analysis and confusion as to what is clinically pertinent. When done in a systematic manner, information can be gleaned from a patient's gait that will lead to treatment ideas, or more specific functional tests. Perhaps clinicians have made this too difficult in the past, and lost sight of the big picture. Manual palpation and procedures are important, but we can also assess how the patient is moving in their sport and in daily activities.
