Roessingh Research and Development and St. Maartenskliniek are organizing the Deepening Course in Gait Image Analysis in 2025. This course is now full. There is a waiting list for this course. Read more about the content of the course and the possibilities to sign up for the waiting list for a next edition below.

For whom

Do you work in a gait imaging lab or frequently refer to a gait imaging lab and want to gain more knowledge and skills to request, perform a (3D) analysis in a more focused way and better understand the results? Then this course is right for you.

The course is aimed at rehabilitation physicians, physical therapists and movement scientists and technologists working in and/or referring to a gait imaging lab.

As prerequisite for this in-depth course, you will have taken the course "Movement Analysis in Adults," at Roessingh Research and Development, or a similar basic course elsewhere. Reasoned exceptions to this are by request only and will be evaluated individually by the course director.

The course is taught by Roessingh Research and Development (RRD) in Enschede and St. Maartenskliniek (SMK) in Nijmegen, in cooperation with Roessingh Diagnostic Center (RDC), Enschede and Loop Expertise Center (LEC), Nijmegen:

Course overview and learning objectives

In the course there is ample opportunity to apply theory directly in practice in the form of active forms of work. Various syndromes such as CVA, muscular diseases, incomplete spinal cord injury and Parkinson's disease are covered, with students working on the cases themselves. The course covers 3D measurement methods, including added value and interpretation of 3D data. However, working in a 3D lab yourself is not a requirement for attending the course. In addition to 3D methods, there is also plenty of attention for influencing and testing manipulations during a gait image analysis.
