3D Kinematics and Kinetics

3D Kinematics and Kinetics

​Eight high-speed video cameras simultaneously record the movement of the trunk and extremities as the child walks. These views are merged to construct a three-dimensional (3D) model that is then used to calculate joint motion in each of the three planes. The data can be represented in graphical form to show the dynamic range of motion during gait. 
​Force plates located in the floor of the testing space measure the three-dimensional torque and power generated by each foot strike. The direction and magnitude of the ground reaction forces on the lower extremities can then be calculated during the different phases of the gait cycle.

After the data collection, your child can see what they look like on TV! 

Sometimes special markers are used to look more closely at foot and finger movements.

What Our FAMILIES Are Saying

Cesia's Story

"
Chris Church did an outstanding job with our son during the gait analysis. We are looking forward to getting
these results to aid us in directing future care "
​
"
Daveda Taylor was the PT who worked with our daughter. She was just wonderful. She took her time, made adjustments when necessary, sang with our daughter, and was very patient. Because of Daveda, it
was a very good experience and we got further along in the test then we did the prior two times. I was very impressed with Daveda's knowledge and ability to work with our daughter."

"Faithe is an asset to the team here. She is friendly, thorough, patient, kind and obviously skilled in her expertise.."
