Gait Analysis (Run3D)

---

 We ask a series of questions about your concerns. These questions will guide us in which tests we need to perform in order to help resolve your issues.   We listen to your needs so we know your goals and help guide toward them.

  We attach 39 reflective markers to  your legs and shoes, positioned on specific anatomical landmarks.

Using exactly the same 3D motion capture technology as specialist orthopaedic hospitals and elite sports performance centres, our state-of-the-art cameras measure the position of these markers 200 times a second. We use this data to calculate precisely how your joints are moving as you walk and run. 

 You will walk or run on the treadmill and we quantify exactly how you are moving in real-time.

We accurately measure the 3D movements at your pelvis, hips, knees and ankles, and compare your results to a database of uninjured controls in real-time. This enables us to immediately identify any asymmetry and abnormal patterns in your gait. 

During assessment we use a force plate to analysis the pressures going through your feet when standing, balancing and walking. 

 Ir required we also carry out an MSK assessment in combination with the Gait Analysis to allow us to fully understand why you move in a certain way which gives us the first steps to putting it right. Aswell as your alignment we carry out a series of tests to check muscle strength, flexibility and neuromotor control    

 We will review your report, using the information to fully understand your biomechanical function.

This report enables us to understand the cause of your injury, which is the first step to an effective and long-term rehabilitation plan. 

Once we have all your results we can then work together to formulate a specific treatment plan to help achieve your goals. 

We pride ourselves in giving you the best rehab care you need to get you back on your feet. 

We believe that in order to achieve the best outcomes for your injury/ complaint a more holistic approach is needed. From the results of your assessment  we look at a whole range of  treatment options, for example:

• Stretching exercises
• Strengthening exercises
• Mobilisation and massage
• Taping techniques
• Laser therapy
• Podoactiva Orthotic prescription
• Referral to other Therapists
