Aim
This two-day course aims to provide an overview of those aspects of clinical research that are specific to gait analysis.
It will serve as a general introduction for those who have little experience in this area whilst giving more experienced researchers an opportunity to consolidate their understanding and reflect on their practice.
Format
The core material will be delivered in the form of lectures. Three one-hour workshops will allow delegates to work in small groups to consolidate their understanding of the lecture material.
Faculty
The faculty will be drawn from all the collaborating institutions of the Gait CCRE. The team will be led by Dr Richard Baker, Prof H Kerr Graham and Prof Meg Morris.
