Gait Analysis
Gait Analyses Services
At Healthcare on Collins the gait analysis of clients is conducted for a number of reasons. Primarily to help to determine the cause of an injury but also to improve walking and running efficiency or simply to determine what may be the most appropriate type of footwear for the client to purchase.
Gait analysis is only one of the many tools that an experienced podiatrist or physiotherapist may use in determining the factors influencing a patient’s condition. It is well accepted that running technique can falter as we fatigue. Consequently, a good idea is to actually go for a run on the day of assessment should your symptoms allow. Your therapist will get more information from your tired legs!
Another good idea is to bring in your OLD runners. Again, your therapist can get a lot of information from them simply by looking at the wear patterns.
If you have been troubled by a niggling injury when you run or walk and it just going away, book in to see one of our experienced podiatrists or physiotherapists by ringing (03) 9650 4284 or book here.
