The ESMAC Gait Course will be held in OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University, more information about the venue is here.

The ESMAC Gait Course in Oslo is a three-day course meant for beginners and people who like to refresh their knowledge in clinical gait analysis. We dive into an introduction to gait analysis, normal gait vs. pathological gait, case examples, and principles of data interpretation while having both theoretical and practical sessions. See 2024 programme below. We regularly adapt the course content according to new developments and incorporate feedback from former students to keep the course attractive and alive.

The first day highlights requirements and development of healthy walking, motion analysis from 2D to 3D as well as marker placement. On the second day, more detailed aspects of gait analysis (kinematics, kinetics, EMG, quality insurance) are covered in theoretical courses as well as in practical sessions. The third and final day includes methods of integrating and communicating clinical gait analysis data as well as discussing case examples in small groups. The different sessions are led by experienced gait analysts with different clinical and technical backgrounds.

The ESMAC Gait Course will be held at the OsloMet. There will indeed be coffee and lunch breaks to connect and catch up. At the end of day one we organize a Social Evening. More updates will follow soon!

Ahead of the course, you will get a handout with the slides, some introductory videos as well as interactive apps/programs to help understand joint moments and transverse plane bony deformities. And at the end, an official ESMAC Gait Course certificate is waiting for you.

Make sure you register soon as the number of places is limited!

We are very much looking forward to seeing you in September!
