Why is a gait analysis for cerebral palsy done?
For a person with cerebral palsy, gait analysis can be used to:
- Find ways to help the person walk better.
- Predict what type of muscle, tendon, or joint surgery (orthopedic surgery) would be most helpful.
- Evaluate the success of orthopedic surgery that has already been done.
- Suggest changes in a person's exercise program.
