The biomechanical gate analysis makes possible an exact interpretation of single locomotion in all details. Even by patients with cerebral palsy an improvement of objective and self-critical clinical assessment of therapy was achieved. We report on the results of biomechanical gate analysis after elongation of the Achilles tendon. The effects of the operation especially concerning coordination of the gate have been analysed.
