Computerised Gait Analysis

You can have computerised gait analysis at our clinic. It is a valuable tool for identifying issues with your walking pattern or muscle weaknesses that may be causing pain or injuries. The process includes observing how you stand and walk, using a treadmill and a pressure plate to measure where pressure is applied as your feet strike the ground. This assessment can reveal various factors such as muscle weaknesses or tightness, differences in limb length, or pronation of the feet, all of which might contribute to injuries.

Addressing these findings can assist in treating and preventing future injuries. Gait analysis is also helpful when performed while running on a treadmill, particularly for preventing recurrent running-related problems. Through this evaluation, it becomes clear whether orthotics may benefit you and what specific features they should have. Additionally, you’ll receive exercises tailored to any muscle weaknesses detected during the assessment.
