SOURCES OF FURTHER INFORMATION Journal articles Papers in the scientific journals constitute the major repository for knowledge on any scientific subject, including gait analysis. A number of key papers are cited as references in this book. A computer search of the Medline database, using suitable keywords, will uncover many more. As well as its availability through research libraries, it is also possible to access Medline on the Internet, through the PubMed service (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/). Papers on gait analysis are most frequently found in the following journals, although a large number of other journals also contain occasional papers on the subject: Clinical Biomechanics Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research Gait and Posture Journal of Biomechanics Journal of Biomedical Engineering Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery Physical Therapy
Learned societies There are a number of learned societies which focus on gait analysis and related subjects, including the Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis Society 229

(GCMAS), the International Society for Postural and Gait Research (ISPG), the European Society of Movement Analysis in Adults and Children (ESMAC), and the Società Italiana di Analisi del Movimento in Clinica (SIAMOC). An even greater number of societies include gait analysis among their interests, including the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) and the various national and regional societies of biomechanics. Up-to-date information on these societies will be found on the Internet (see below).
Conferences and conference proceedings The most up-to-date information on gait analysis research will always be found in the oral and poster presentations at relevant conferences. The conferences with the highest content of gait analysis research are those run by the organizations listed in the preceding section. Details of forthcoming conferences will be found in the calendar sections of some of the journals, and on the Internet (see below). Many conferences publish books of proceedings or abstracts, which are available for purchase. Few libraries have these books and it is usually necessary to contact the conference organizers to obtain them. Exceptions to this are the GCMAS, ESMAC and SIAMOC meetings, the abstracts from which are published in the journal Gait and Posture.
Textbooks Each of the chapters in this book ends in a bibliography, which lists some major texts, providing further information on the topics covered by the chapter.
Videotapes A number of individuals and institutions have developed videotapes as learning aids for gait analysis. Those the author is aware of are as follows. Physical examination of the musculoskeletal system, program 9: gait, by Larry B. Conochie American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons 222 South Prospect Avenue Park Ridge, Illinois 60068, USA

The Internet The Internet is changing extremely rapidly. The information below is current at the time of publication, but may be somewhat out of date by the time you read this! Probably the most useful resource is the Clinical Gait Analysis website (http://guardian.curtin.edu.au/cga/). A great deal of information on gait analysis can also be found on the biomechanics ‘list’, known as BIOMCH-L (http://isb.ri.ccf.org/biomchl/index.html/). Some information about gait analysis is included in the Kinesiology and Biomechanics Teacher’s Information Service (www.usfca.edu/ess/tis/). Many other Internet sites contain information relevant to gait analysis, which can be found by entering suitable keywords into a search engine, such as Google. Further information is available from the many books about the Internet or from the providers of the on-line services.
