Video Gait Analysis
Identifying Your Foot Pain and Problems To Achieve Your Goals.
The assessment begins with discussing the history behind your concerns to gain clarity on what may be the cause. Alongside the consultation, your podiatrist will also carry out a physical examination with the use of Video Gait analysis. During this assessment, you will be walking at a pace that works for you. For the runners out there, the speed will be adjusted accordingly.
Your podiatrist will share their findings once the data is collected from using the video gait analysis. You will be able to watch how you are walking which most people have never seen before! This thorough investigation will identify and highlight what is happening and why. A detailed treatment plan will be developed for you, tailored to get the best possible outcome to achieve your goals.
What to Expect During Your Biomechanical Assessment
As well as assessing your mobility with how you are currently moving, we look at the lower limb performance. The consultation will investigate the foot shape, sensation, neurology, injuries, blood supply, body weight, physical routines such as sport and any previous interventions. We also want to be clear on your expectations and how we can minimise recovery for the future. Following this investigative process, we can begin to tailor make your treatment plan to help you reach your goals.
