iC10 – TWo dimensional video gaiT analysis: aPPlying THe lessons from 3d gaiT analysis
location: Meeting Room 8
Adrienne Harvey, M.Physio; Jill Rodda, PhD; Professor Kerr Graham, MD, FRCS(Ed), FRACS
Course level: Intermediate
Purpose: Three dimensional gait analysis is not always accessible to clinicians for clinical decision-making . The purpose of this course is to apply the principles from
3D gait analysis to clinical decision making and trouble-shooting using 2D video gait analysis in children with cerebral palsy and correlating this with other clinical
and functional measures .
Target audience: Orthopaedic surgeons, physicians and physical therapists involved in the management of gait abnormalities of children with cerebral palsy .
Course summary: The group from the Hugh Williamson Gait Laboratory in Melbourne has extensive experience using 3D gait analysis as well as two-dimensional
video gait analysis which is routinely used as part of the clinical service, particularly for post-surgical monitoring in children with cerebral palsy . This course will
cover the technical set-up required and the principles of video gait analysis using lessons from 3D gait analysis and will emphasize the interaction of different levels
and planes of motion at different times in the gait cycle . The correlation of other clinical and functional measures to gait analysis will be included as well as gait patterns
in children with cerebral palsy and the orthotic and surgical management for these different gait patterns .
Five detailed case studies will be presented in an interactive format to illustrate the principles involved and the value of video gait analysis when combined with clinical
examination and mobility scales . These will demonstrate decision-making and trouble-shooting, particularly post-operatively .
