GAIT ANALYSIS

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 in the event that risks of injuries are determined
