A Complete Look at the "Kinetic Chain"
Our comprehensive evaluation starts with listening. We want to understand the problem from you point of view. Then we complete an objective assessment, with functional measurements to determine how the foot, ankle, knee, hip and spine all connect. Finally, we’ll video tape you in motion, using our sophisticated four-camera system. You’ll be simultaneously filmed from the front, back, side and top. We’ll observe you walking and running, with and without shoes.
Comprehensive Analysis and Expert Care
Once the exam is complete, our team will perform a frame-by-frame evaluation of your gait and running mechanics. The analysis and our recommendations will be summarized in a written report to your referring physician. You will also receive a copy of the report along with a DVD of the video gait analysis. Then we’ll advise you on strategies for resolving your pain.
