Biomechanical Assessments/ Screening and Orthotics London SW15

Gait Analysis

Computer analysis of gait

At Physio4Life we offer an in-house analysis of foot biomechanics and production of orthotics using the TOG Gaitscan® system, Dartfish and Quintec video analysis software.

One of the main areas where injury can be prevented is through having the correct foot mechanics. An example of this is where, due to the foot being part of the kinetic chain, pain occurs in the back due to poor foot biomechanics. Approximately 85% of the population has problems with their feet with only 15% having optimal function. This can be easily and painlessly checked out in only 45 minutes. This is done by:

  1. A full Musculoskeletal screening including muscle and joint functional tests.
  2. Standing stationary on the foot plate with both feet.
  3. Walking onto the foot plate each foot at a time.
  4. Jogging onto the foot plate each foot at a time.
  5. Videoing each process and analysing them with the Quintec system.
  6. The results are discussed with you.
  7. If orthotics are required the results are then emailed to TOG.
  8. Orthotics are made to your requirements and returned within 4 weeks.
