Gait analysis is a diagnostic and assessment tool that evaluates how a person walks or runs. By observing the gait cycle—including step length, cadence, symmetry, and walking rhythm—therapists can detect movement abnormalities and underlying conditions. It’s commonly used in physical therapy to improve mobility, optimize performance, and guide rehabilitation plans.
Gait analysis is valuable for athletes, post-surgical patients, and individuals with neurological or musculoskeletal disorders. The insights gained allow our therapists to customize treatment approaches and track your progress with objective data.
