G-Walk
“The HOW”
While video gait analysis provides a comprehensive view of your walking and running patterns, our commitment to cutting-edge technology takes your assessment a step further. We possess the tools to uncover the unseen, to delve into what’s happening “behind the scenes” of your movement
G-Walk Technology
A cornerstone of our technological suite is the G-Walk system, a groundbreaking “wearable laboratory” designed for the intricate analysis of movement.
This non-invasive, wearable device equips us with the ability to conduct detailed functional analyses of your gait in real-time.
The G-Walk system, utilizing a specialised wireless inertial sensor attached to the patient, allows us to perform clinical tests that reveal the symmetry of your pelvic movements across three dimensions. These insights are crucial because pelvic movement is deeply influenced by foot function, highlighting the interconnectedness of your body’s biomechanics.
Moreover, G-Walk provides critical data on key walking and running parameters, such as the duration your feet are in contact with the ground and the propulsion speed. This information is vital for understanding the efficiency of your gait and for identifying areas for improvement. In some cases, based on our initial assessment, we might find that our pressure plate analysis offers additional or more suitable insights. Should this be the case, it will be seamlessly integrated into your personalised treatment plan. Our approach ensures you benefit from a comprehensive, technologically advanced assessment, setting the foundation for targeted, effective treatment.
Why do we choose G-Walk for your gait analysis?
It’s simple: G-Walk represents the pinnacle of motion analysis technology, offering accurate, reliable data through an innovative approach to understanding your gait and functional movement. This system isn’t just advanced; it’s designed with your comfort and freedom in mind. The heart of the G-Walk technology is its lightweight, compact wireless inertial sensor. Fastened around the waist with a specially designed ergonomic belt, it ensures that you, the patient, can move naturally and unencumbered. This freedom to walk and run as you normally would is crucial, as it allows us to capture the most authentic representation of your movement patterns.
