GAIT ANALYSIS AND BIKE FIT ASSESSMENT at Taylor & Thornburg Physical Therapy in Oakland, CA

VIDEO GAIT ANALYSIS

A treadmill gait analysis with video is an excellent way for your physical therapist to take an in-depth look at how you move while walking or running.

Slowing down the video allows your therapist to identify where your gait cycle deviates from what we would consider normal or normal for you.

This, combined with a functional orthopedic assessment (e.g. range of motion, strength, flexibility, motor control – how muscles work together), informs your therapist about where your impairment/s may be.

This allows your physical therapist to accurately advise you and prescribe appropriate exercises.

We may perform treadmill gait assessments in conjunction with other physical therapy care or as an independent visit.

Ultimately, we are looking to assist you in running with less or no pain and improved form and efficiency. If you are seen in the clinic for a course of physical therapy care, your underlying orthopedic issues will inform your physical therapist on how best to help you. This includes addressing footwear or other running equipment.
