Gait analysis
Podiatrists with professional expertise
Computerised and Video Gait Analysis is used by Griffith Foot Clinic to conduct a comprehensive biomechanical assessment.
What is Biomechanics?
Biomechanics is the science of the movement of a living body, including how muscles, bone, tendons and ligaments work together to move. We look at how this affects our walking, running and standing postures.
Biomechanical assessments are conducted for conditions such as:
- Foot and Heel Pain
- Plantar Fasciosis
- Ankle Pain
- Shin Splints
- Calf Pain
- Hip Pain
- Achilles Tendonitis
- Knee Pain
- Lower Back Pain
- Postural Problems
- Flat Feet
- Leg Length Differences
What is video gait analysis?
Video Gait Analysis involves standing and walking on a state of the art pressurised sensor platform, whilst being closely observed by our Podiatrist.
The sensor pad records over a million points of data that translates into a digital image. From these images, your foot function can be assessed and pressure areas identified.
On completion of your biomechanical assessments, Griffith Foot Clinic will be able to provide you with a comprehensive treatment plan.
Treatment can include:
- Orthotics (Insoles)
- Footwear Advice
- Foot Strapping
- Exercises
