■Economic Evaluation of Clinical Gait Analysis: A Cost-Benefit Approach

"This research is concerned exclusively with children who are suffering from gait related abnormalities. The purpose of this thesis was to conduct an economic evaluation of alternative means of treating gait. More specifically, the answer to the following was sought: "which method of treating cerebral palsy (clinical gait analysis or the current method of clinical observation) maximises the difference between social benefits and social costs?" The technique of cost-benefit analysis was employed to answer this question."

■Efficacy of clinical gait analysis: A systematic review (2011-2020 Update)

2011: "The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate and summarize the current evidence base related to the clinical efficacy of gait analysis. A literature review was conducted to identify references related to human gait analysis published between January 2000 and September 2009 plus relevant older references."

2020: "This paper updates our 2011 systematic review on the clinical efficacy of three-dimensional instrumented gait analysis (3DGA)."

■Effects of Preoperative Gait Analysis on Costs and Amount of Surgery

"The purpose of this study was to determine the efects of clinical gait analysis (GA) on the costs of care in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP) and the amount of surgery these children undergo."

■Impact of instrumental analysis of stiff knee gait on treatment appropriateness and
associated costs in stroke patients

"When treating Stiff Knee Gait, proper use of GA can reduce the percentage of inappropriate treatments by botulinum toxin at the rectus femoris up to 81%. Savings are in the order of €100k/year when considering centers treating 100 or more patients/year."
