Why Choose This Assessment?

• Helps in injury prevention by detecting biomechanical imbalances early.
• Enhances sports performance with data-driven training recommendations.
• Provides parents and coaches with comprehensive insights into the child’s physical development.

Why Your Child Needs This Assessment

The Children’s Sports & Gait Assessment Package is designed to evaluate the way children move, balance, and perform during physical activity. By analyzing gait, posture, endurance, and coordination, this assessment helps to:

• Detect early issues such as flat feet, postural misalignments, or movement imbalances that may cause injuries in the future.
• Improve sports performance by providing personalized insights to optimize strength, balance, and coordination.
• Support healthy growth by ensuring musculoskeletal development is on track during critical growth years.
• Guide training and rehabilitation for young athletes, helping coaches and parents make data-driven decisions.
• Prevent injuries through early identification of risks and timely interventions.

This package is especially recommended for active children (10 years+), young athletes, or those experiencing posture, gait, or coordination concerns.

What is Gait Analysis?

Gait analysis is the study of how a person walks or runs. It involves assessing the way the body moves, including the coordination of muscles, joints, and limbs, to identify any abnormalities, inefficiencies, or potential risks of injury.

Here’s a breakdown:

1. Purpose:

• Detect movement problems due to injury, surgery, or medical conditions.
• Improve athletic performance by optimizing walking or running mechanics.
• Design rehabilitation programs, orthotics, or assistive devices.

2. Methods:

• Visual observation: A therapist watches your gait and notes irregularities.
• Video analysis: Cameras capture your movement for detailed study.
• Computer-based analysis: Pressure sensors, motion-capture systems, or wearable devices measure forces, angles, and timings.

3. Components assessed:

• Step length and stride: How far your feet move with each step.
• Cadence: Steps per minute.
• Posture and balance: Alignment of the head, spine, and pelvis.
• Foot mechanics: Pressure points and weight distribution.
• Joint angles: How the hips, knees, and ankles move during walking or running.

4. Who benefits:

• Athletes looking to improve performance.
• Children with developmental conditions.
• People recovering from injuries or surgery.
• Individuals with neurological or musculoskeletal disorders.
