AACPDM 69th Annual Meeting | October 21-24, 2015

Speaker Names: Sylvia Õunpuu, MSc and Kristan Pierz, MD

Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships:

We have no financial relationships to disclose.

Disclosure of Off-Label and/or investigative uses:

We will not discuss off label use and/or investigational use in my presentation

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

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

Summary:

Interactions across planes:

• Evaluation of the relationships between motion from one plane to another

– Differentiate between primary deviations and compensations

– Determine possible causes of gait abnormalities

• Sequence of data interpretation:

– Individual joint

– Joints and segments within a single plane of motion

– Joints and segments across multiple planes of motion
