[Characteristic of the patients' gait with recurrent lateral patella dislocation].
Recurrent lateral patella dislocation, as a kind of patellofemoral malalignment, significantly influences knee biomechanics by the changing patellofemoral movement during flexion and during gait. So far other papers doesn't describe characteristic of the patients' gait with recurrent lateral patella dislocation.


OBJECTIVE
To evaluate gait pattem patients with recurrent lateral patella luxation in comparison to normal gait pattern.


METHODS
There have been 10 patients involved in evaluation. Those patients have been diagnosed recurrent lateral patella luxation. All of the patients were subjected analysis using objective system of movement analysis VICON 460.


RESULTS
The results of gait parameters analysis revealed significant changes in comparison with normal pattern gait.


CONCLUSIONS
Gait pattern patients with recurrent lateral patella luxation unlike normal gait pattern characterizes itself with decrease of gait speed, steps frequency reduction and hyperextension of the knee during foot of gait phase.
