Walking analysis
What is a walking analysis?
The walking analysis is a comprehensive examination that shows exactly how your body moves while walking. We have all been walking since childhood, but we do not always stop to think about how we actually do it. Without really realizing it, every step has an impact on the feet, knees, hips, and the rest of the body. An anomaly in the gait pattern, such as a hyperextended knee upon landing, a hip that drops inward, or a stride frequency that is too low, can already lead to recurring injuries or a less efficient walking technique. With this examination, we fully map out the way you walk, making it clear where complaints originate, how we can prevent them, and how we can move as efficiently as possible.
How does it work?
Step 1 – Into the markers
We discuss your complaints or walking goals together and get to work. We place 39 markers at specific points on the body. These are tracked by 4 infrared cameras while you run. This allows us to create a 3D model of your gait pattern.
Step 2 – Analysis
Using this 3D model, we can accurately map all movements of the pelvis,
hips, knees, ankles, and feet during walking.
We then compare your walking style with the most efficient and healthy
walking pattern based on scientific research.
Step 3 – Advice
Based on your unique results, you will receive a comprehensive report and advice. This may take the form of shoe advice, walking exercises, or strength or mobility exercises. Together, we ensure that you walk through life injury-free and as efficiently and healthily as possible!
What do you get with a Walk3D walking analysis?
- You use the most accurate technology developed at Oxford University.
- Your walking pattern is analyzed by a movement scientist.
- The risk factors for injuries and opportunities for performance improvement are identified.
- You receive an interpreted report of your unique results.
- You will receive advice on footwear, walking exercises, mobility and strength training.
- You can opt for an additional exercise program, strength and mobility test, or podiatric consultation (optional).
Comprehensive walking assessment
With a comprehensive walking assessment, we combine the best of two worlds: the Walk3D walking analysis with a podiatric consultation. During the walking analysis, we gain insight into your walking style, which we supplement during the podiatric consultation with, among other things, a physical examination based on the results of the analysis. This provides us with a complete picture of all factors influencing your movement. Together, we help you resolve injuries, prevent them in the future, and walk as efficiently and healthily as possible.
