Analysis of a patient’s walking and running mechanics can be a valuable tool in the Assessment and Rehabilitation of current injuries as well as the prevention of future injuries. Gait Analysis may be provided during a patient’s initial evaluation at Professional, and revisited during later sessions to monitor progress.
A Gait Analysis includes the following:
- Discussion of current and previous training patterns
- Discussion of current and previous injuries
- Analysis of strength, flexibility, and balance
- Analysis of shoe wear patterns
- Visual analysis of movement patterns during walking and running
- Breakdown of abnormal or inefficient movement patterns that may be
contributing factors to acute and chronic injuries
