Video Gait Analysis

Video gait analysis means measuring and analysing the biomechanics of your spine, lower limb and feet as you walk or run on a treadmill. Milltown Physiotherapy uses the TEMPLO professional motion analysis software which enables us to capture video and replay in slow motion. This software uses the most sophisticated and detailed analysis protocols taking full advantage of the expertise of your physiotherapist. We can assess key aspects of your biomechanics and take you through the stages of the gait cycle. We can collect all the results and create a powerful report with appropriate ready to use solutions and answer any questions you may have about what is happening in the video.

Gait analysis can be used to:

Make detailed diagnosis and plan optimal treatment of lower limb injuries
Give you advice on footwear and orthotics
Diagnose movement impairments and prevent future injuries
Prescribe personalised exercise programmes
Identify any biomechanical inefficiencies in your running style that may cause injury problems if wearing shoes that do not suit the way you run.

Please feel free to discuss our video gait analysis system with your Physiotherapist. They will be happy to answer any further questions you may have.
