Understanding Your Walking Mechanics with Walk3D
Comprehending your walking mechanics is essential for both preventing and addressing mobility issues. A thorough assessment, particularly with 3D gait analysis, provides an in-depth look at how you move across all three planes of motion. This advanced approach goes beyond simply identifying existing issues—it lays the groundwork for personalized rehabilitation strategies and targeted treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.
The Benefits of Walk3D Analysis
Identifying the Root Cause of Issues – Understanding the underlying mechanics behind discomfort or inefficiencies allows for more effective, long-term solutions.
Guiding Rehabilitation & Treatment – A data-driven approach ensures that rehabilitation plans are tailored to your unique movement patterns, promoting a more **efficient recovery**.
Reducing Injury & Mobility Risks – By pinpointing potential areas of weakness or instability, we can implement proactive strategies to enhance mobility and prevent future complications.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, experiencing discomfort while walking, or simply looking to improve movement efficiency, Walk3D provides the insights needed to optimize your gait and overall well-being.
Setup
Your our Walk3D assessment begins with a detailed discussion about your walking mechanics, history of injuries, pain, or mobility concerns. This helps us understand your unique movement patterns and any potential issues.
39 Small reflective markers are placed on key points of your legs, pelvis, and lower back to track your movement.
3D Gait Analysis
Your clinician will ask you to warm-up on the treadmill, ensuring you're adequately prepared. Once ready, we'll initiate the data collection process.
You'll be asked to walk on a treadmill while our state-of-the-art motion capture system records precise data on your gait mechanics, joint angles, and movement efficiency.
Musculoskeletal Testing
Following your gait analysis, your clinician will conduct a comprehensive series of objective clinical tests designed to precisely assess your strength, range of motion, alignment, and neuromuscular control.
These clinical tests yield valuable data, offering a holistic perspective on your movement patterns. Integrating the outcomes of these musculoskeletal tests with the detailed gait analysis, we attain a comprehensive understanding of how your body moves and the reasons behind any particular movement patterns.
Report Review
Our skilled clinician will carefully review your Walk3D report, intricately piecing together all the information collected during your assessment. This process provides a comprehensive understanding of your body’s mechanics, helping us identify movement inefficiencies, muscular imbalances, and potential areas of concern.
By leveraging the powerful insights provided by Walk3D, we go beyond just analyzing your gait—we delve into the root cause of any discomfort, instability, or inefficient movement patterns. This understanding serves as the foundation for crafting a personalized rehabilitation or performance plan, ensuring that our recommendations address not just the symptoms but also the underlying issues.
Treatment & Recovery
Our goal is to provide you with a clear, actionable strategy to improve your walking mechanics, reduce pain, and enhance overall movement efficiency—helping you stay mobile, active, and confident in your stride.
