AACPDM 69th Annual Meeting | October 21-24, 2015
Speaker Names: Sylvia Õunpuu, MSc and Kristan Pierz, MD
Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships:

Purpose
• To demonstrate the role of motion analysis in
gaining an understanding of the relationship of
joint and segment kinematics within and across
planes of motion for a variety of gait
pathologies
AACPDM 2015 Interactions Within and Across Planes – IC #20 2
Outline
• Angle and segment definitions
• Definition of within and across plane
interactions
• Case examples of within and across plane
interactions
• Examples are of patients with CP unless
otherwise noted
Objectives:
• Understand the importance of knowing
angle definitions
• Define joint kinematic interactions within
and across planes
• Develop skills to separate primary
deformities vs. compensations in gait
pathology
Angle definition
• The specific body
segments that
make up the angle
• With consideration
for the orientation
of the “viewer”
when looking at
the angle
AACPDM 2015 Interactions Within and Across Planes – IC #20 3
Joint Angle Definitions
Which
one?
What is this
angle
definition ?
Joint Angle Definitions
• Kinematics for the
trunk, pelvis, hip, knee
and ankle/foot
progression
• Coronal, sagittal,
transverse planes
• Stance and swing
phases of gait

Summary:
Interactions within a plane:
• Evaluation of the relationships between motion from one joint or segment to another
– Differentiate between primary deviations and compensations
– Determine possible causes of gait abnormalities
• Sequence of data interpretation:
– Individual joint
– Joints and segments above or below within a single plane of motion
