Gait Analysis

Introduction

Gait analysis involves much more than simply looking at your feet and shoes when you are walking. Gait analysis involves assessing all of the body parts and how they are interacting with one another.

What We Examine

We examine head position, shoulder tilt, spinal curve, hip position, knee and lower limb position and any torsional (bony rotational) changes in the leg bones. Then we assess the foot and ankle from heel strike to toe-off. We even assess how the toes function and their activation during the gait cycle!

Analysis Methods

Visual gait analysis is one of the most simple but most effective ways to observe your gait. Our BodyTech scanner and treadmill is a technologically advanced system that can provide us with further detailed information regarding your gait, mechanics, joint stability and balance.
