From Publisher
The definitive text on human gait is now in its Third Edition - thoroughly revised to reflect recent advances in the study of human locomotion and the clinical use of gait analysis. The book features contributions from leading experts in all the disciplines involved in the study, assessment, and treatment of gait disorders, including physical medicine and rehabilitation, orthopaedics, neurology, physical therapy, podiatry, kinesiology, and biomedical engineering. This edition's updated chapters have a greater focus on analysis of treatment outcomes. Five new chapters cover evolution of human walking; adaptation in pregnancy, aging, and alcoholism; walking for health; simulation of gait; and ten important take-home lessons about walking.

Human Walking is not a book intended to fuel architects' imaginations, but all the kinds of designers will profit with the clear, enlightening explanation given by those excellent authors, about that extraordinaire natural - and civilized, as it is explained - feat. When an architect designs a sidewalk (and you will be surprised by the inadequacy of the most common or official standards of that conspicuous class of objects), she / he does not have a hint about that dynamic phenomena named "human walking". We architects really use a static model of sidewalk use and experience - and people's needs -, and do not consider the huge variety of gaits, paces, strides, treads (the English language has dozens of denominations for this varied action) that people do perform graciously (awkwardly, lively, peacefully) as the most human of the humane movements. We walk all our lives long, walking is the destiny of human beings, as I have delightfully learned. I commend that book to designers, in order to know more deeply and soundly about a very important feature of urban life and form. |
