dynamic gait analysis
A dynamic assessment of your gait will be undertaken on a treadmill. A comprehensive assessment of the deviation of your hind foot and its stability at a variety of speeds will be noted. Your overall body posture and trunk control will be examined and any core stability or muscular issues discussed.
The information gained will be used in conjunction with the outcome of your physical assessment ensuring that your feet are aligned to their optimal functional angle.
After your dynamic gait analysis recommendations may be made for you to receive specific muscular re-training by a qualified physiotherapist.
You will be required to:
- Walk barefoot
- Run barefoot (see video illustrating over-pronation on right foot)
- Walk/run with trainers
- Walk/run with corrected orthotic inlays
We will look for:
- Joint Instability
- Heel impact and timing of gait
- Uneven trunk movements
- Muscular imbalance
