Gait Analysis

Gait analysis refers to the use of 3D motion capture technology to evaluate key characteristics of an individual's walking pattern.  This is extremely helpful in many clinical circumstances because gait abnormalities are complex and involve secondary compensatory adaptations that are difficult to identify.  The information obtained through a 3D gait analysis is then used to help physicians, therapists, trainers, and coaches determine optimal treatment and training plans.  This may take the form of therapeutic interventions or tracking progress and functional outcomes after surgery or therapy.

Gait analysis is appropriate for persons of all ages who have difficulties walking due to neuromuscular or orthopedic disorders such as cerebral palsy, stroke, osteoarthritis, muscle or joint injury.
