Biomechanical research (gait analysis)
A biomechanical assessment is an assessment in which the podiatrist examines the way you stand and walk.
Using video recordings and measurements, we analyse how your feet and body move whilst walking. We examine both how you stand still and how you walk. This gives the podiatrist a clear picture of your posture and gait.
Why a biomechanical study?
Some symptoms have a cause that is not immediately apparent. The place where you feel pain is not always the place where the symptom originates.
Complaints can, for example, arise from an abnormal position of the feet. Or a different way of moving. A biomechanical assessment allows us to gain a clear understanding of this.
During the examination, we look at how your body moves and where the movement differs from normal. This helps us determine whether the way you move is affecting your symptoms.
Based on the biomechanical assessment, we select a treatment that suits your situation. In this way, we work specifically to reduce symptoms and prevent new ones from arising.
