Gait Analysis
At Foot Health Podiatry Clinic Galway, we recognise that proper movement is essential for maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle. Our cutting-edge Gait Analysis service uses advanced technology to thoroughly assess your movement patterns and joint angles, allowing us to pinpoint any dysfunctional patterns that could be causing pain or injury. Our analysis includes two main components: Video Gait Analysis and Dynamic Pressure Plate Analysis.
Video Gait Analysis
Features:
- High-Definition Recording: Our advanced video analysis captures your gait in stunning detail, enabling us to examine every aspect of your movement.
- Multi-Angle Observation: We record from various angles to provide a comprehensive view of your gait, uncovering nuances that might be missed from a single perspective.
- Frame-by-Frame Examination: Our specialists carefully analyse each frame of your gait, allowing for a thorough assessment of joint movement and alignment.
Benefits:
- Precise Movement Assessment: Video analysis offers a detailed view of your body’s biomechanics, revealing even subtle deviations that may be contributing to pain or impacting performance.
- Tailored Intervention: By pinpointing specific areas of concern, we can design customised interventions and exercises to address your individual needs, promoting faster rehabilitation and improved performance.
- Progress Tracking: Regular video gait analysis sessions allow us to monitor your progress over time, ensuring that your movement patterns are evolving as desired.
FOOTSCAN Dynamic Pressure Plate Analysis
Features:
- Real-Time Foot Pressure Mapping: Our dynamic pressure plate provides immediate data on how you distribute weight and pressure while walking, standing, or running.
- Visualising High-Pressure Areas: The pressure plate creates a visual map of your foot’s contact with the ground, identifying high-pressure zones that could be causing discomfort or injury.
- Comprehensive Analysis: Our specialists assess your step cycle, foot arch, and pressure distribution to identify any imbalances and potential issues.
Benefits:
- In-Depth Foot Assessment: Dynamic pressure plate analysis enables us to explore the interaction between your feet and the ground, helping us identify issues that might not be visible through visual observation alone.
- Holistic Injury Prevention: By identifying areas of excessive pressure, we can offer insights into potential pain or injury causes further up the kinetic chain, addressing broader issues that may affect your overall well-being.
- Optimised Footwear and Orthotics: The data from pressure analysis guides recommendations for suitable footwear or orthotic devices, ensuring enhanced support and reducing strain on specific areas of your feet.
Our Gait Analysis service integrates advanced video analysis with dynamic pressure plate technology to provide a thorough understanding of your movement mechanics. By detecting and addressing dysfunctional patterns, we help you manage your movement health, prevent injuries, and maximise your performance potential.
