Gait Analysis

Whether it be gait analysis, running analysis, stance analysis or orthotic diagnosis, Biomechanix offers a number of solutions to assist in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of the patient or athlete.

The process of ambulation combines complex interactions of human movement and the environment. Accurate assessment of ambulation can have profound effects on tailoring the treatment plan to reduce pain and improve function.

The use of an instrumented treadmill has clinical applications in gait analysis, balance assessment, gait retraining and is combined with pressure/force parameters as well as motion capture to provide comprehensive analysis and gain the full clinical picture. This use of an instrumented treadmill provides insights and validation of treatment strategies such as gait retraining, strength and mobility of targeted tissue as well as the correct prescription of foot orthosis.

These proven measurement systems, generating precise and accurate information are fast becoming the gold standard of clinical practice as innovative clinicians and researchers seek to improve the client experience and outcomes. Walking a patient up the hallway and simply visualising movement patterns is becoming a thing of the past as we move to a new and improved way of doing things within the clinical setting.

Assessing human movement accurately allows the clinician to formulate a treatment plan that is both valid and data driven. The ability to assess and reassess the effect of the intervention is paramount to ensure that the patient is progressing as expected and that the treatment pathway is successful.
Essentially, this technology leads to improved patient outcomes through data driven healthcare.
