RanchoGait 3.2.1

This app is based on the Rancho Observational Gait Analysis System, a renowned method utilized for instructing physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, students, and other healthcare professionals in a structured evaluation of both normal and abnormal gait patterns.

The RanchoGait app is the inaugural installment in a series of modules designed to educate users on assessing normal and abnormal gait, with the final module focusing on the prescription of lower extremity orthoses. This series was developed at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center for individuals with neurologic impairments.

The primary module of the RanchoGait app serves as a valuable resource for students and clinicians seeking an interactive tool to understand and reinforce the foundational principles of Normal Gait and the Problem-Solving Approach. Subsequent modules aim to deepen the understanding of Pathologic Gait, integrating the Rancho R.O.A.D.M.A.P. and MOPS brace adjustment module into the core Rancho Gait App experience. Access to these modules is available through in-app purchase.

The RanchoGait app encourages active user engagement in learning about the essential aspects of Normal and Pathologic Gait, fostering critical thinking throughout the educational journey.

Whether used independently as a standalone study aid or alongside traditional coursework, the RanchoGait app complements lecture-based teachings effectively. It also seamlessly aligns with orthotic prescription procedures.

Comprising informative content like Phases, Functional Tasks, Task Accomplishments, and Critical Events related to Normal Gait, the RanchoGait app encapsulates the fundamental features essential for comprehensive learning.
