Description
Have you wondered if gait analysis might be helpful for you or your child or how gait patterns develop in someone with cerebral palsy across the lifespan? Let's Talk CP host, Cynthia Frisina talks with Dr. Tom Novachek and Dr. Andrew Georgiadis from Gillette Children's Speciality Healthcare about gait, gait analysis, and what makes Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare such a special place in this new 2022 episode of "Let's Talk CP." Gillette Speciality Healthcare in Saint Paul Minnesota is one of the world’s top cerebral palsy centers, home to leading specialists in treatments for cerebral palsy, including orthopedics, neurology and neurosurgery, as well as operating one of the world’s busiest and most respected clinical gait and motion analysis centers. Using innovative computer technology, gait and motion analysis captures movements, muscle activity and forces that the eye can’t see and helps clinicians understand and recognize how orthopedic, neurological and muscular conditions can hinder motions that are critical to daily living. This information can lead to better treatment decisions and outcomes for patients and their families. Tom Novacheck, MD, is a pediatric orthopedic surgeon and Associate Medical Director of the James R. Gage Center for Gait and Motion Analysis at Gillette.

Dr. Andrew Georgiadis is a pediatric orthopedic surgeon and Clinical Manager of Center for Gait & Motion Analysis at Gillette.
