Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is being conducted to demonstrate the objective utility of the use of pedobarography as a tool to differentiate normal controls from people with spastic gait as well as having utility in objectification of treatment effect on level surfaces and on a ADA based obstacle course.
