Gait Retraining

When to re-train gait and when not to.
What we know and what we don’t know.

An interview/discussion with Max Martin (Exercise Physiologist) and Simon Bartold (Biomechanist).

The Great Gait Debate: Pros, Cons, and Clinical Realities

Should we actively alter a patient’s gait, or are the risks sometimes greater than the rewards? In this candid, back-and-forth discussion, Biomechanist Simon Bartold and expert Exercise Physiologist Max Martin break down the clinical evidence, the myths, and the modern realities of altering a patient’s gait.

Whether you are returning to clinical practice and looking to rebuild your confidence, or a seasoned practitioner wanting to challenge your current protocols, this video discussion delivers an unfiltered look at modern biomechanics.

Key themes covered in this video:

  • The Pros vs. Cons: A direct evaluation of when altering gait accelerates recovery versus when it can inadvertently cause new issues.
  • When to Intervene (And When Not To): How to draw a clear line in your practice between a gait pattern that needs fixing and one that should be left alone.
  • Separating Fact from Friction: A transparent breakdown of what the scientific evidence actually supports versus common industry myths.
