Gait/Posture Project
By the end of the semester, each group will create a PowerPoint Presentation containing the
following information:
1. Gait Mechanics Video Analysis
Each individual of the group will create a PowerPoint presentation containing:
2. Posture/Flexibility Analysis
Content:
1. Gait Mechanics Video Analysis
a. You will analyze the video to determine if there are any structural abnormalities
(e.g., pes planus, pronated sub-talar joint, genu valgum, etc.). An explanation of
the abnormality is required, what causes the abnormality, and what corrective
measures might be necessary.
b. Answer the questions from the PowerPoint given to each student
2. Posture Analysis
a. A summary of your posture analysis from lab will be displayed along with any
notations of abnormal posture. If abnormal posture is found, explain the
abnormality and what the appropriate correction might be. (Pictures required for
any abnormalities)
b. A flexibility analysis will also occur stating which joints have an abnormal ROM.
In the cases where the ROM is decreased compared to normal, explain what could
be done to correct this altered ROM.
c. An objective analysis based on specific tests done in lab class on muscular
endurance for specific postural muscles.
i. Push-up
ii. Curl-up
iii. Calf raises
