Gait Analysis in Rehabilitation-Gait Analysis in Rehabilitation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video summarizes different gait patterns commonly seen in patients with cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive brain injury that affects movement and posture. The video explains the various movement patterns in cerebral palsy, including spastic, dyskinetic, and ataxic patterns. It also discusses the anatomic patterns of cerebral palsy, such as monoplegia, hemiplegia, diplegia, and quadriplegia. The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) is introduced as a way to assess the level of assistance needed for mobility in cerebral palsy patients. The video then explores different gait patterns commonly seen in cerebral palsy, including hemiplegic, scissoring, equinus (or toe walking), jumper or crouch gait, and stiff knee gait, using kinematic data from video analysis. Rehabilitation strategies for treating gait deviations in cerebral palsy patients are also discussed, including physical and occupational therapy, bracing and mobility devices, tone abnormality interventions, orthopedic surgical correction, and addressing secondary factors that may affect gait. Credits are not specified in the summary.
