Biomechanical Assessment
During a biomechanical assessment, we examine the way your lower limbs function while you stand, walk, and run, checking for abnormalities and possible causes of pain in the foot, ankle, knee and back.
Through the use of Sensor Medica®, a pressure plated treadmill syncronised with video cameras situated around the treadmill, we can precisely and accurately record your foot and lower limb kinematics. The video data enables us to closely analyse your every movement during the gait cycle and then provide you with clear visual information and explanations of what is contributing your pain or concern.
Following the biomechanical assessment, we will develop a treatment plan to improve your symptoms. This may involve one or more of the following:
- Footwear advice
- Targeted strengthening and/or rehabilitation exercises
- Taping / Strapping
- Foot Orthoses or other devices for you to wear inside your shoe to control, realign or cushion abnormalities
- Referral to other health professionals for specialist assessment and treatment
- Referral for X-ray, Ultrasound or MRI
