Video gait analysis Measuring and analysing the biomechanics of your feet and legs as you walk or run on a treadmill.
There is a normal posture for feet, knees, hips and back at any point in a walking or running cycle.
Video gait analysis enables us to study any abnormal movements of both muscles and joints
as the body moves.
We use a combination of a Sprintex treadmill and
Contemplas Templo software, to enable us to capture video
and replay it in slow motion, measure angles and synchronise video clips side by side to analyse
differences in gait patterns before and after treatment.
You will be able to see for yourself how you walk or run, helping you to understand particular
problems, why they exist & how they can be prevented or eliminated. We are happy to supply the information on
CD for use by other health care professionals or coaches with whom you are involved.
Video Gait Analysis is also used to assess the effectiveness of running shoes, both with and without corrective orthoses.
We also use a computerised pressure analysis system Footscan®, which provides information
about the pressure underneath the barefoot or shoe whilst walking or running, measured up to 500 times a second (500Hz).
At Foot Mechanix we use state-of-the-art equipment to accurately record and study your gait cycle.
