Reviews

A must have app for any PT!
VL 26

Rancho sets the standard for gait research and rehabilitation and this app sets the standard for gait apps. Great video descriptions of walking mechanics and easy to understand explanations of how normal walking works. I will use this all the time in my clinical practice. The in app purchase options are a bargain. I can't wait for the other modules to go live.


only gait analysis app

when is the pathologic gait part coming out?


Great app
Croutdawg

This is a great app as I am a PT student. When are the pathological gait and Roadmap pieces going to be available to use? I would give five stars if all pieces were available to use within the app.


Scam
James 139371249

This app is a scam. It has no interactive features. Two years after they promised to add the path gait function it is still not here and that button is not functional. This app is made by USC but seems as if it was made in someone's basement in 15 minutes.


Help with sound!
studentptarg

Help please! I appreciate the slow motion breakdown of the phases of the gait cycle, but there is no volume with any of the videos. This makes the critical events add-on useless.


Video quality

The videos are freezing and don’t have any commentary.


expensive

I was excited when I found this app. As a DPT student it would have been useful. Unfortunately it is to expensive. You could spend upwards of 70 dollars when other apps provide similar information for much less.


Help with the sound

The sound is not working on the in app purchases video for the Gait Phases. Help to get the sound back.
