Abstract

Neuroplasticity is one of the very important nervous central system proprieties, which allows for the development of the neurorehabilitation program. One of the most important problems in neurorehabilitation is gait rehabilitation, which needs a specific gait assessment. Our chapter presents the theoretical approach of gait analysis, which can be realized as the link between patient movement, patient capacity, and performance. The problem is how the gait analysis is made because are a lot of ways, a lot of questions if are or not specific gait patterns for different pathologies. ...
