What are gait analysis and training?
Diagnostic tools for physical therapists are used to identify the root cause of gait dysfunction and may include observation, gait speed measurements, balance tests, strength and range of motion measurements and reflex and sensation screenings. Using a treadmill and force plate gait analysis, a physical therapist can observe and assess your gait and stride as you walk and run to identify abnormalities and imbalances. With information, your therapist will create a treatment program designed to correct your gait.
