GAIT AS IT RELATES TO BRACHIAL PLEXUS

Post by Corey Ferguson »

See: GILLETTE CHILDREN'S SPECIALTY HEALTH CARE - CENTRE FOR GAIT AND MOTION ANALYSIS - Principals of Pathologic Gait and it's relation to Brachial Plexus. Also see my reply to Brenda's inquiry for GAIT. GAIT IS IMPORTANT! Actually GAIT AND BALANCE is very important. There's a whole lot more going on than just a bent weak arm that does't work very well. Thank you Brenda for bringing GAIT up.

Hi -

I can't find anything relating to BPI and gait in the Center for Gait and Motion Analysis for some reason. Would you mind posting the exact link? Thank you.

This is the exact link:

www.gillettechildrens.org/default.cfm/PID=1.3.2

Brachial Plexus comes up in the Gait and Motion Anaysis Section of the Gillette Children's Web site.

I took a look, they are not related in this site, they are just listed as 2 of the services provided there, no relation.
