Gait Analysis
In our computerised video gait analysis session, we turn the spotlight on your unique walking and, if relevant, running patterns through video analysis. The foot is a unique, intricate and mechanically complex structure made up of 26 major bones and associated joints. The efficiency with which the foot functions when walking depends on the way in which those bones and joints move in relation to each other.
Gait analysis allows us to observe and assess any irregularities and inefficiencies that might not be evident otherwise. By closely examining your gait, we gain invaluable insights into the nuances of how you move.
This dynamic assessment is pivotal because it mirrors your movements in real life and in real-time, offering a clear window into the causes behind your current foot issues or potential problems that could arise in the future.
This critical step in your treatment plan is focused on uncovering exactly WHAT is happening as you walk or run. Understanding these dynamics is key to tailoring a treatment strategy that addresses your specific needs, ensuring we not only remedy existing conditions but also safeguard your foot health for years to come.
