Editing Gait analysis (section)

===Chiropractic and osteopathic uses===
Observation of gait is also beneficial for diagnoses in [[chiropractic]] and [[Osteopathic medicine in the United States|osteopathic]] professions as hindrances in gait may be indicative of a misaligned pelvis or sacrum. As the sacrum and ilium biomechanically move in opposition to each other, adhesions between the two of them via the [[sacrospinous ligament|sacrospinous]] or [[sacrotuberous ligaments]] (among others) may suggest a rotated pelvis. Both doctors of chiropractic and [[Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine|osteopathic medicine]] use gait to discern the listing of a pelvis and can employ various techniques to restore a full range of motion to areas involved in ambulatory movement. Chiropractic adjustment of the pelvis has shown a trend in helping restore gait patterns<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Herzog|first1=W|title=Quantifying the effects of spinal manipulations on gait using patients with low back pain.|journal=Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics|year=1988|volume=11|issue=3|pages=151–157|pmid=2969026}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last1=RO|first1=Robinson|last2=W|first2=Herzog|last3=BM|first3=Nigg|title=Use of force platform variables to quantify the effects of chiropractic manipulation on gait symmetry.|journal=Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics|date=1 August 1987|volume=10|issue=4|issn=0161-4754|pmid=2958572|pages=172–6}}</ref> as has osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT).<ref>{{cite journal|last1=MR|first1=Wells|last2=S|first2=Giantinoto|last3=D|first3=D'Agate|last4=RD|first4=Areman|last5=EA|first5=Fazzini|last6=D|first6=Dowling|last7=A|first7=Bosak|title=Standard osteopathic manipulative treatment acutely improves gait performance in patients with Parkinson's disease.|journal=The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association|date=1 February 1999|volume=99|issue=2|doi=10.7556/jaoa.1999.99.2.92|issn=0098-6151|pmid=10079641|pages=92–8|doi-access=free}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last1=Vismara|first1=Luca|last2=Cimolin|first2=Veronica|last3=Galli|first3=Manuela|last4=Grugni|first4=Graziano|last5=Ancillao|first5=Andrea|last6=Capodaglio|first6=Paolo|title=Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment improves gait pattern and posture in adult patients with Prader–Willi syndrome|journal=International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine|date=March 2016|volume=19|pages=35–43|doi=10.1016/j.ijosm.2015.09.001}}</ref>
