Utilizes motion capture technology, ground force reaction and electromyography instrumentation, NIH developed Visual3D biomechanics software, as well as, proprietary equipment and software. We use a full body marker set - including a multi-segment foot model that measures both hindfoot and forefoot in a more accurate and anatomic way. Pathological gait can include substantial non-sagittal motion. To provide optimum relevant data we incorporate six-degree of freedom (DOF) collection models.
Not all motion analysis is the same
Some facilities advertise “motion analysis” or “gait analysis” when they are using conventional videotaping equipment. While this may work for healthy individuals, athletes or runners, as well as a straightforward orthopedic injury, research has shown that understanding movement on the transverse (or coronal) plane of the body is critical to managing many injuries and disorders. Computerized, three-dimensional motion analysis synchronizes movement with kinetic or joint force measurements which is not routinely available in two-dimensional video analysis.
Who would benefit from clinical motion analysis?
Any person who is experiencing significant difficulties in walking, running or performing activities of daily living, at work or participating in sports. If you are in continued pain, in extended treatment without appropriate recovery, please call us to discuss how we can help at:
