What is Gait Assessment?
Gait assessment is a clinical evaluation of your walking pattern, posture, balance, and movement mechanics. By understanding how your body moves, we help:
- Reduce pain in the feet, knees, hips, and back
- Improve balance and stability
- Correct improper walking patterns
- Prevent future injuries
- Improve overall movement efficiency
- Enhance athletic and daily performance
- Support rehabilitation after injury or surgery
Gait analysis is an essential tool for long-term mobility health.
How We Perform Gait Assessment
At Rapha Rehab, gait assessment includes multiple components to identify the root cause of movement issues:
- Postural Evaluation: Assesses alignment in standing and walking positions.
- Walking Pattern Observation: Analyzes step length, symmetry, foot strike, and weight distribution.
- Strength & Mobility Testing: Identifies muscle imbalances affecting gait.
- Joint Motion Analysis: Evaluates ankle, knee, hip, and spine movement.
- Balance & Coordination Testing: Helps determine stability and fall risk.
- Functional Movement Assessment: Assesses walking during daily tasks and environmental changes.
- Foot Mechanics Review: Checks arches, pronation, supination, and load patterns.
If needed, findings may be paired with orthotics or exercise therapy for long-term correction.
