Gait analysis identifies biomechanical abnormalities in the way you stand, walk or run and provides comprehensive information relating to spinal/postural alignment, foot pressure and gait assessment.
The whole musculoskeletal system is mapped without radiation to facilitate recovery post orthopaedic injury, the monitoring of spinal curvature arising from scoliosis or osteoporosis and assists in determining underlying causes of pain arising from poor alignment or gait and foot malfunction.
