Human walking is a phenomenon that is frequently taken for granted, yet it is actually controlled by intricate cerebral circuitry. A number of biomechanical elements that the central nervous system coordinates for economy and stability are necessary for a healthy gait pattern. The spinal cord, brainstem, cerebellum, basal ganglia, limbic system, cerebral cortex, and their interactions with the environment are all involved in the process of controlling gait. Walking is not difficult for healthy people, but it can be exhausting and challenging for those with gait disorders including hemiparesis, spinal cord injuries, or amputations. Muscle wasting results from stroke due to injury to the motor cortices and their descending corticospinal tracts. The mechanical effects of muscular weakening, spasticity, aberrant synergistic activation, and their interconnections are reflected in the wide variety and hierarchy of post-stroke hemiplegic gait deficits (Li Sheng., 2018)
It has been demonstrated that three-dimensional gait analysis is an effective clinical technique for assessing gait abnormalities brought on by movement disorders. Clinical professionals can use three-dimensional gait analysis to create the most effective locomotor training programme for their patients and to assess how well they are responding to the chosen intervention. This approach consists of streamlined measurement and preparation procedures that may be completed quickly in clinical settings, as well as straightforward result presentation that makes it easier for doctors to comprehend

Physiotherapy students at the Faculty of Health Sciences have the opportunity to learn this cutting-edge technique as MAHSA University has set up a complete three-dimensional gait analysis lab on our Physiotherapy department It serves as a full-fledged laboratory unto itself, analysing the biomechanics of both diseased and normal human gaits. The in-depth, thorough analysis aids the students in comprehending the biomechanics of both normal and abnormal gait as well as planning treatment options in accordance with the interpretation of the findings. We are privileged that MAHSA University continues to provide the latest and best equipment for the learning of our students.
