Q

OGA: some tips

A
  • Big picture first
  • Avoid tunnel vision
  • Do not let classification of gait dictate your treatment
  • Take your time, get it right
  • Understand what you are seeing before you try to fix it
  • Use anatomical and standard terminology
  • Let the patient choose their walking speed
