3d movements and stroke rehab

A new research center at Stanford will address mobility disorders with powerful 3-D simulations of a patient's movements

I did have this done as part of a research study I was in on ankle movement but was not able to see those results. I could see an extremely important use for this for all PTs working with stroke gaits. And maybe then someone will be able to identify very specific small movements to work on. My first PTs could only demonstrate the correct way to walk and since my walking was pretty screwed up their admonitions didn't work.

Or if your therapist does not have quite such a high-tech item maybe this would work
Could Your Clinic Benefit From Slow Motion Video Analysis?

This does mean your therapist will have to get outside off their comfort zone because this would mean working on individual muscles rather than their training of complete functional movements.

In one of Uncle John's Readers my daughter told me that it took 200 muscles in order to walk. I just thought, 'Oh great, I have to relearn 100 of them'. But if these technologies could be used for hemiplegic gaits then they could tell me specifically which muscles are spastic and which ones are weak or missing. Well I can dream about the future of rehab. If only I was in charge.
