Biomechanical Gait Analysis

Biomechanical gait analysis is a detailed assessment of how a person walks or runs, using observation, pressure sensors and sometimes video motion capture to identify abnormal movement patterns contributing to pain or injury. It reveals subtle asymmetries and inefficiencies in movement that are difficult to detect through observation alone, often explaining why an injury keeps recurring despite treatment. The data collected can guide the choice of footwear, custom orthotics, or specific corrective exercises. Athletes and recreational runners alike use the analysis both to resolve existing pain and to improve efficiency of movement.

Biomechanical Gait Analysis is recommended for patients diagnosed with specific conditions where other approaches have been insufficient. Your Sports Medicine specialist will assess your suitability based on your diagnosis, health history, and treatment goals.

The typical duration is 45-60 minutes. This may vary based on the complexity of your case and individual response to treatment.

Recovery typically takes No recovery is needed. Results are reviewed immediately with personalized recommendations, and a follow-up assessment is sometimes conducted after orthotic or exercise interventions are implemented.. Your care team will provide specific instructions based on your response and overall health.

Side effects vary by individual and are detailed in the section above. Your specialist will discuss all risks and benefits with you before treatment begins. Serious adverse effects are uncommon but are part of the informed consent process.

Biomechanical Gait Analysis has a documented success rate of Highly effective at identifying movement-related injury causes at accredited facilities. Outcomes depend on disease stage, patient health, and adherence to the treatment plan and aftercare instructions.
