Gait analysis is useful in evaluating an amputee's prosthesis by providing objective measurements and a permanent record of the patient's status. Kinematic, kinetic and EMG data assist the clinician and prosthetist in identifying specific problems encountered by the amputee and in identifying the causes. Gait analysis also allows comparison of different prosthetic designs or different alignments of the same prosthesis. Most importantly, however, the record provided allows examiners to objectively discuss the problems and their potential solutions.
