Comprehensive Gait Analysis

At Swan Podiatry and Orthotics, serving those in Darwin and Katherine, we understand that analysing your movement patterns is essential to addressing your physical needs. That's why we offer personalised video gait analysis as a core service.

This cutting-edge technology captures your movement in real-time, using advanced software to evaluate your walking or running technique. Conducted on a treadmill, the analysis provides a detailed view of your gait cycle, offering invaluable insights into how your body moves. By recording your movements, we can thoroughly assess subtle joint actions that are often missed when observed with the naked eye, particularly during dynamic activities like running.

The ability to replay your footage in slow motion allows us to pinpoint areas of inefficiency or deviation in your gait cycle, whether it’s overpronation, limited ankle flexibility or hip movement asymmetry. This detailed evaluation helps our team identify underlying issues that may affect your comfort and movement.

Whether you're an athlete seeking to enhance performance or someone looking to improve mobility, this service helps to provide a clear understanding of your body's biomechanics. Call us on 0428 976 360 to make a booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact Our Team

What is video gait analysis?

Video gait analysis is a detailed assessment that captures and examines the way you walk or run. Using high-resolution video footage, we evaluate your movement patterns to identify any abnormalities or inefficiencies that could be causing pain or discomfort. This helps in diagnosing conditions like overpronation, flat feet or alignment issues, allowing us to recommend the most suitable treatment plan.
How does video gait analysis help in treatment?

Video gait analysis provides a precise and visual understanding of your movement patterns, helping to detect any issues that may not be visible through traditional observation. By slowing down the footage, podiatrists can pinpoint the exact cause of discomfort, such as improper foot alignment or muscle imbalances. This data is then used to develop a personalised treatment plan, which may include orthotics, strengthening exercises or footwear recommendations.
Is video gait analysis suitable for everyone?

Yes, video gait analysis is suitable for a wide range of individuals, including athletes, people experiencing chronic foot pain or those recovering from injuries. It’s particularly helpful for individuals looking to improve their walking or running form. Whether you’re addressing a specific issue or seeking preventative care, video gait analysis provides valuable insights into your foot mechanics and overall movement.
How long does a video gait analysis session take?

A video gait analysis session typically lasts around 30 to 45 minutes. During this time, you will be asked to walk or run on a treadmill while being filmed from different angles. After capturing the footage, your podiatrist will review the analysis with you, explain any findings and discuss potential treatment options based on the results.
