Gait Analysis in Prosthetic Care: Barriers and Opportunities

How is gait analysis actually being used in prosthetic care today?
What are the real barriers to its adoption in clinical practice? Is it cost, time, data complexity, or something else?

I’m a PhD researcher at the University of Strathclyde, investigating these questions. Following a recent ethical extension, I’m seeking a practice-informed perspective from a global audience, including prosthetists, orthotists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, rehabilitation professionals, trainees, and biomedical engineering (BME) researchers worldwide.

This global survey aims to build a clear picture of how gait analysis tools are used across clinical practice and research today: what’s working, what’s not, and how these tools can be made more accessible and effective in real-world settings.

Who should take part?
Prosthetists and Orthotists
Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, and Rehabilitation Professionals
Biomedical Engineering (BME) Researchers and Trainees

The details:
Takes around 5 minutes
Fully anonymous
Open to participants worldwide
📅 Open until 28 February

Your experience can help bridge the gap between laboratory research and real-world clinical practice.
