Gait analysis investigates how the body moves. At Dungannon Foot Clinic, we use the latest technology to assess body mechanics, muscle activity, and foot and ankle posture during walking and running. By analysing a person’s three-dimensional gait, we are able to diagnose dysfunction and provide the correct musculoskeletal treatment to optimise and improve performance.
Dungannon Foot Clinic provides gait analysis assessment using digital cameras, computerised software and foot scanning technology to capture three-dimensional biomechanical information.
This information, along with your medical examination, allows the clinician to provide expert advice and the correct treatment strategy to resolve your condition.
Getting a gait analysis performed helps to give you a better insight into your running gait, biomechanics, and style. Gait analysis will help discover what biomechanical abnormalities are causing your painful symptoms.
Gait is the pattern that you walk. Sometimes, an injury or underlying medical condition can cause an abnormal gait. You may notice an abnormal gait if you drag your toes when you walk, take high steps or feel off balance when walking. Certain gait abnormalities are temporary and others require lifelong management.
You will need to strengthen your muscles, so prepare to work hard on those physical therapy exercises. Based on your gait analysis consultation, your podiatrist will also advise if an orthotic is required.
