Computer-assisted stance, gait, and running analysis is precise movement analysis based on biomechanical testing and diagnostics. It is designed to analyse in detail the technique and style of walking and running, also to capture abnormalities in the human biomechanics that can have a detrimental effect, such as causing pain or leading to various injuries. The screening is recommended for people, who complain of pain in their feet, knees, back, or other joints of the lower limb. The results of the test show the cause of the pain and help to assess the correctness of walking or running and to develop an accurate treatment plan based on the results.
We recommend the screening for those:
- With foot deformities and diseases.
- With foot pain.
- Starting to exercise or wanting to have body awareness.
- Willing to improve running performance and reduce the risk of injury.
- With back, waist, or leg pain.
- With walking/movement disorders.
- Preparing for surgery or seeking to assess their gait before and after surgery.
How the screening is conducted:
At the start of the screening, the specialist asks the patient questions related to the person’s lifestyle and physical activity, with the aim of providing the most accurate recommendations for treatment or maintenance of healthy motion.
During the screening, your feet will be scanned as you step, stand, walk, and run on the treadmill by special sensors and video cameras on the sides of the treadmill, which will help to determine the foot load and to accurately capture your gait and running. The test takes up to 15 minutes, and for the remaining 45 minutes the specialist analyses the results together with the patient and makes individual recommendations.
The screening assesses:
- The condition of the arches of the foot and the load distribution in feet.
- Correctness of ankle, knee, and pelvic positions.
- Correctness of posture and gait.
- Running technique.
At the end of the screening, Pes Planus system prepares a report of the results, which helps the specialist to select the physiotherapy exercises, to manufacture custom or adjust standard insoles or other orthopedic devices, and to personally select orthopedic or athletic footwear that is right for your foot. We will also analyse the results and discuss together your sports technique and healthy motion.
