Full Gait Analysis

Full Gait Analysis

Picture
Several computers are used to collect three-dimensional video data and electromyographic data, perform kinematic and kinetic calculations, and process that information into a format for interpretation. Adhesive electrodes measure muscle activity and special reflective markers track joint movement. Foot pressure measurement and metabolic analysis are also available to enhance the assessment and provide a complete picture of the child's gait. This dynamic information, combined with a physical examination, visual observation, and the development history (provided by the family and medical record), gives greater insight into the causes of gait abnormalities.
There are several testing procedures that may be included in the gait analysis. ​Age, diagnosis, level of functional independence and ability to follow directions are all considered by the team when determining which testing procedures should be used.  A full gait analysis will include most of the following tests:

​
  • Videotape and Photos
  • Physical exam
  • Foot pressure
  • Three-Dimensional (3D) kinematic assessment
  • Kinetic assessment
  • Diagnostic EMG
  • Metabolic analysis
  • Physical Activity Monitoring

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.."
