<unk>  is used to analyze the walking ability of humans and animals, so this technology can be used for the following applications: Medical diagnostics Pathological<unk>  may reflect compensations for underlying pathologies, or be responsible for causation of symptoms in itself. Cerebral palsy and stroke patients are commonly seen in<unk>  labs. The study of<unk>  allows diagnoses and intervention strategies to be made, as well as permitting future developments in rehabilitation engineering. Aside from clinical applications,<unk>  is used in professional sports training to optimize and improve athletic performance.<unk>  techniques allow for the assessment of<unk>  disorders and the effects of corrective orthopedic surgery. Options for treatment of cerebral palsy include the artificial paralysis of spastic muscles using Botox or the lengthening, re-attachment or detachment of particular tendons. Corrections of distorted bony anatomy are also undertaken (osteotomy). Chiropractic and osteopathic uses Observation of<unk>  is also beneficial for diagnoses in chiropractic and osteopathic professions as hindrances in<unk>  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 or sacrotuberous ligaments (among others) may suggest a rotated pelvis. Both doctors of chiropractic and osteopathic medicine use<unk>  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<unk>  patterns as has osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT). Comparative biomechanics By studying the<unk>  of non-human animals, more insight can be gained about the mechanics of locomotion, which has diverse implications for understanding the biology of the species in question as well as locomotion more broadly.<unk>  as biometrics<unk>  recognition is a type of behavioral biometric authentication that recognizes and verifies people by their walking style and pace. Advances in<unk>  recognition have led to the development of techniques for forensics use since each person can have a<unk>  defined by unique measurements such as the locations of ankle, knee, and hip. Surveillance In 2018, there were reports that the Government of China had developed surveillance tools based on<unk> , allowing them to uniquely identify people, even if their faces are obscured.
