KurzfassungClinical gait analysis involves objective, valid, and reliable techniques for assessing gait function and is crucial
for assessing walking patterns and identifying gait abnormalities in various patient populations. By analyzing
joint angles, muscle activity, and other biomechanical factors during walking, clinicians can diagnose gait disorders,
plan interventions, and improve patient outcomes. The GAMMA association aims to provide recommendations
to support the standardization and quality assurance for clinical-instrumented 3D motion analysis
services within the German-speaking region in central Europe. The practice recommendations described in this
paper cover among others (i) technical requirements for recording data on level ground and on treadmills, (ii)
staff management, (iii) recommendations for measurement equipment and quality assurance procedures, (iv)
patient referral management, (v) practical recommendations for data acquisition, management, and reporting,
and (vi) information to consider when setting up a new gait analysis facility. The GAMMA association aspires for
these clinical practice guidelines to enhance motion analysis services, leading to better and more standardized
clinical practices, which further contribute to improved patient care, and better conditions for research in central
Europe.
