Of the 38 postoperative gait analyses, 32 (84\%) resulted in recommendations of a change in patient care. Surgery was recommended in 16 of 38 (42\%) cases, bracing in 20 (53\%) cases, and specific physical therapy regimens in eight (21\%) cases. Eleven of the 38 (29\%) patients had changes recommended in at least two of the three areas (surgery, bracing, and therapy). The results of this study suggest that postoperative gait analysis serves not only as a measure of treatment outcome, but also as a useful tool in planning ongoing care for these patients.
