Quality Gait Analysis Services
Gait analysis (walking/running biomechanical analysis) is the comprehensive analysis of the foot, ankle and lower limb mechanics.
This analysis consists of the following:
- Non weight bearing assessment of leg length, hip joint, knee joint, ankle joint, rear foot and forefoot joints
- Muscle flexibility of the lower limb
- Muscle strengths of the lower limb
- Functional assessment: a reliable weight bearing measure (Foot Postural Index). Used for foot and ankle research worldwide.
- Dynamic assessment: walking, treadmill and/or computer pressure plate analysis.
The analysis will enable us to determine the following:
- The correct orthotic type required
- The correct footwear for activity
- The underlying biomechanical cause of a presenting complaint
- Identify lower limb injuries an individual may be at risk of developing
- The appropriate injury prevention techniques if risks of injuries are determined
