Gait Analysis Nottingham

Video Gait Analysis

What does a gait analysis involve?

During a gait analysis, we’ll be assessing the way you run whilst on a treadmill. We will take video footage and we’ll use this to assess you from head to foot, looking to see whether there are any biomechanical problems with your gait cycle and offering advice & tips on how to improve your running style and reduce the risk of injury.

Who is a gait analysis suitable for?

A gait analysis is perfect for anyone who wants to understand their running style as well as those runners who experience pain while running or suffer from reoccurring injuries. With our help, you can strengthen areas of weakness & retrain bad habits. It won't be long before you're up and running again.

It’s also ideal for anyone looking to start out in running or someone about to purchase new running shoes. During the gait analysis we will look for key indicators, that will help provide information as to what type of trainers best suit the way you run. The results will also highlight whether it is actually necessary to purchase specialist trainers for supination/overpronation, or whether it’s just a case of making some strength or running style changes to your biomechanics.

What can gait analysis show you?

Gait analysis will show you how you run and whether there are any kinetic chain issues that need addressing. Such as how you land, are you a midfoot runner, forefoot runner or a heel-striker? It will also show you whether or not you over extend before contact with the ground. Maybe there is too much flexion in your joints during the contact stage of the cycle? Is there good hip extension / "propulsion" at the toe off stage? We will even look at your cadence (your steps per minute when running), as this may have a big impact on efficiency of running or the chance of injury.

All of this will help us determine a strength and conditioning programme to make you a bullet proof runner!

What conditions can a gait analysis help?

Gait analysis and a good rehab programme or strength plan can help many conditions that involve some type of biomechanical abnormality like foot & ankle pain, knee pain or hip pain.

All gait analysis assessments are carried out by James and appointments are available at only our West Bridgford clinic.

    I ran yesterday and really concentrated hard on the toe off aspect. Run felt good and strong, did 6km which is the furthest I've ran in some time!

    I'll definitely recommend you to other runners for a gait analysis too.

    I took a lot away and it was good to see treatment from a different perspective!
