METHOD FOR MAKING GAIT CORRECTION WHEN PATIENT USES CRUTCH (CANE) Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves analyzing supporting response of the lower extremity to be unloaded in walking. Maximum force of supporting response at the rest stage is recorded and analyzed. Maximum force of supporting response at the rest stage being greater than 0.2 Mg or mean force of supporting response at the rest stage being greater than 0.1 Mg, where M is the testee mass and g =9.8 m/m/c² is the acceleration constant, the patient is advised to change walking stereotype. EFFECT: enhanced accuracy in determining supporting response.
