Gait is an elementary kinetic stereotype of humans. The perfection of this movement is achieved by a delicate interplay between the central nervous and locomotor systems. Instrumental gait analysis is a unique functional and dynamic investigation that allows us to better understand not only biomechanics, but also central movement control. Due to technological progress, gait analysis has moved from biomechanics research laboratories into routine clinical practice and has become an invaluable aid for a number of neurologists, physiotherapists, orthopaedists and prosthetists dealing with the issues of cerebral palsy.
