Reviews
Given the morbidity and mortality that accompany gait dysfunction, this is an important book for anyone caring for an individual with locomotion or postural disorders. ... The audience is anyone with an interest in posture and gait research or therapeutic interventions, from students to researchers to clinicians, who can take the information presented in the book and apply it to daily practice. (Lauren Vernese, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2018)
