Summary

In a context of rehabilitation medicine and orthopedics, the discipline of Clinical Movement Analysis (CMA) aims to provide an objective and quantitative description of the functions of muscles and joints when the subject executes a relevant task.
This has become feasible since the technological developments of the last 30 years, i.e. optoelectronic recording of 3D kinematics, ground reaction forces and ElectroMyoGraphy (EMG). The goal of such analyses is to provide relevant information for informed clinical decision making. The main application area was/is functions of the lower extremities in gait in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP), but has been extended to gait in other pathologies (children and adults) as well. Recently the application area of CMA has extended to upper extremity (UX) functions in relevant tasks.
Technically the unequivocal prescription of functions of the shoulder, elbow and wrist is now possible and more detailed functions of the hand are expected to follow. Application area is to inform surgical interventions in e.g. CP, OPBL, and trauma. Also and degenerative (Btx-A) treatment in CP require careful indication. As a starting point, one of the main decisions that CMA has to come forward with, is which UX tasks should be in some kind of focus. There is no single task (like gait for the LX) that is clearly the most relevant. Unilateral UX tasks are the basis of the first studies, which seem a natural choice.
However, from a broader functional perspective, this is not then case for unilateral pathologies (CP hemiplegia, OPBL, trauma). Since, even the best treatment (as a result of CMA informed decision making) will probably not restore the UX to be the functional favorable side to use in unilateral tasks. Alternatively focusing on (symmetric) bimanual tasks or tasks supporting unilateral tasks, would probably be of most functional benefit to the patient.
A second main point of attention is which marker models should be used to reliably describe the kinematics of the upper extremity and the associated biomechanical models, which are used to infer muscle functions from that.
The complexity of the model should be tuned towards the specific kind of information that is necessary to inform clinical decision making. A straight forward application is that of the ISB, which are superseded by models that use functional optimization. However, recent sensor innovations (inertial sensing) enable easy to apply evaluations outside the lab.

Workshops/Panels

1. Gait Assessment and Training: Stepping From Mechanistic Research to Practice

Workshop Speakers

Janice Eng	University of British Columbia, Canada.
Diane Damiano	Washington University, USA.
Sandra Olney	Queen's University in Kingston, Canada.
Meg Morris	University of Melbourne, Australia.

Learning objectives

Following the workshop, the participant should be able to:

Discuss neural and biomechanical mechanisms which influence gait function
Be able to evaluate treatment approaches to improve gait with respect to mechanisms underlying impaired gait.
Formulate treatment decisions for improving gait based on an understanding of the mechanisms contributing to impaired gait.

Workshop Summary:

Gait requires the integration of many systems (e.g., muscle, neural, cognitive, cardiovascular, proprioceptive, visual) to generate a multi-degree, rhythmical human gait pattern which is robust, yet adaptable depending on the environment and task. This workshop will evaluate the role of different mechanisms underlying impaired gait and discuss the development of new and innovative, evidence-based treatments to improve gait function. In particular, the application of movement analysis will be addressed as a tool for assessment and developing appropriate treatments to improve walking. Although different populations will be discussed (e.g., stroke, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease), commonalities in the presentations include the use of gait kinematics and kinetics, the knowledge of muscle and neural requirements during gait, and the appreciation of the complex coordination of multiple systems for effective gait.
