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.
