Abstract
The objective acquisition and assessment of joint movements and loads using instrumented gait analysis has become an established tool in clinical diagnostics. In particular, marker-based 3D gait analyses make use of an increasingly comprehensive database for the assessment of orthopaedic or neurological questions. Based on this data and medical-scientific experience, increasingly reliable approaches and evaluation strategies are emerging, which also draw on methods from artificial intelligence and musculoskeletal modelling. This article focusses on marker-based gait analyses of the lower extremity (hip, knee, foot) and how these can be used in a clinically relevant way using current methods, e.g. for determining indications or optimization of surgical planning. Finally, current developments and applications by using alternative methods from sensor technology and optical motion capture will be briefly discussed.
