Biomechanical Assessment and Video Gait analysis

This three stage kinematics assessment appointment will take your patient through :

1. An initial anatomy and static segmental alignment check-up prone and supine.
2. A Weight-bearing assessment identifying compensations that occur.
3. Video gait analysis in order to assess walking or running dynamics.

Muscle groups will also be assessed and plantar pressures may be assessed.

Following our assessment a treatment program will be developed with the patient. The patient will be prescribed any relevant excersices and any footwear modifications or changes will be discussed.

Foot Orthoses (orthotics) or Ankle-Foot-Orthotics (AFO’s) may be prescribes as required. We can prescribe highly bespoke orthoses including the Richie Brace.
