Gait analysis following TKA: comparison of conventional technique, computer-assisted navigation and minimally invasive technique combined with computer-assisted navigation.

Purpose: there are questions concerning the influence of computer-assisted surgery and the minimal invasive surgical technique on the outcome of total knee arthroplasty. The authors followed up the rehabilitation of patients during the first postoperative year.

Methods: the ZEBRIS gait analysis system was used to obtain numerical data of kinetic and kinematic gait parameters.

Analysis of human walking and running parameters as a function of speed.

Recently, there has been great improvement in the field of movement analysis, which is a worldwide tendency. There is a continuous improvement of new methods, combined with traditional ones. In the last few years, we have managed to set up a modern, absolutely up-to-date motion analysis laboratory at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BUTE).

The influence of walking speed on gait parameters in healthy people and in patients with osteoarthritis.

It is difficult to identify objective parameters for assessing the joint function when evaluating the outcome of orthopaedic procedures, especially endoprosthetic replacement. Spatial and temporal parameters of gait have clinical relevance in the assessment of motor pathologies, particularly in orthopaedics. However, the influence of gait speed on these biomechanical parameters has been difficult to be taken into consideration so far.
