This book, Advances in Gait Analysis - Applications and Perspectives, offers a range of principles, methods, techniques, and tools to help readers clearly understand the mechanical and neurological factors that govern human walking patterns. The book covers biomechanical, mechanical, and physiological aspects and illustrates key application domains such as injury prevention, human posture, and musculoskeletal disorders.

The book includes four sections: Introduction, Biomechanics in Health, Biomechanics and Balance, and Biomechanics and New Technologies. The chapters in this book provide useful tools for measuring, generating, simulating, and processing biomechanical data, with clinical and experimental applications in medicine. Engineers, researchers, and students in biomedical engineering and health sciences, as well as industrial professionals, can benefit from this compendium of knowledge on using biomechanics to improve human well-being and prevent injury.
