A Gait Analysis is used to determine three things: the COP line when walking, gait cycle analysis, and frame analysis. This information is very critical<!--more--> because serious musculoskeletal conditions and chronic pain can arise if your gait lacks balance or is incorrect in any other way. A Gait Analysis involves analyzing factors such as gait time, centre of pressure movement, and gait angle.<\/p>\n<h3>\nWhat is gait analysis?<\/h3>\n<p>\nGait Analysis can be defined as a non-invasive method of accurately measuring the way you move. It is normally used to identify conditions of the lower limbs and feet. During a Gait Analysis you may be asked to walk or run over the span of a few minutes. You would normally do this on a treadmill while your movements are recorded on video. The footage can then be slowed down to analyze your gait in detail. Any findings will be explained to you and form the basis of your treatment options.<\/p>\n<h3>\nImportance of this test in some other contexts:<\/h3>\n<p>\nA Gait Analysis is also quite useful when it comes to improving outcomes in exercise and sports.
