Most of the gait analyses I’ve seen are a complete and total joke. I’ve talked with some practitioners and ask them what they do for their ‘biomechanical gait analysis’ and they’ll show me a consumer grade (30 fps) camera hooked up to dartfish being put to use by an athletic trainer or physical therapist and I have contain my self from laughing or showing disgust for their complete bastardization of what a real gait analysis should be. Do you need 1,000 fps cameras and 3d motion analysis…probably not but to think you can do anything of great ‘biomechanical’ value with a 30fps analyzing video with what is essentially a glofied video editor by untrained personel it disgusts me. As a business operator that actually offers true gait analysis, it makes it very hard to differentiate from these clowns when they’re calling their pseduo-science the same thing I’m doing.
