This book takes you through the various phases of gait, the determinants of gait and then through gait deviations and pathology with simplicity and clarity for the most part. In reading about gait it is easy to get lost in a discussion of various force vectors, and this book strives and succeeds for the most part in keeping the reader out of such a morass. The book continues beyond gait deviations to discuss gait labs and also cutting edge subjects in gait. Good background reading for anyone with a need or interest in this kind of information.

This was a great text in preparing for the CCSP and DACBSP exams. It's a more comprehensive text then a simple chapter of a sports injury textbook devoted toward the topic of gait analysis which is common. I would recommend every sports physician, ATC, PT, sports chiropractor and corrective exercise specialist to have this text in their reference library.

The best Gait Analysis book out there. Easy to read yet scientific, highly recommended to anyone interested in the field.
