WHAT IS BIOMECHANICAL ASSESSMENT?
Biomechanics is the area of science that looks at and analyses the mechanics of human movement. In other words, it is the science of explaining how and why the human body moves in the way that it does. Biomechanical Assessment is a useful tool which can help with diagnosis.
The assessment involves the examination of the lower limbs, looking at their structure, alignment, strengths and weaknesses. We will also take into account your lifestyle needs and footwear.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A BIOMECHANICAL ASSESSMENT?
This assessment involves the use of our Footscan device and associated software. We now offer the latest in 3D printed Orthotics which are designed and based on your assessment and results of the dynamic Footscan. We are pleased to belong to the network of specialist ‘Phits Expert’ clinics across the UK and Ireland.
Gait analysis enables us to examine how you walk or run, this in turn allows us to unpick and identify different movement patterns which may be causing different problems. It can also be used to help you run, walk or just move more efficiently. The assessment cost is £100, and the 3D printed orthoses are £300 a pair.
WHO IS BIOMECHANICAL ASSESSMENT GOOD FOR?
It is ideal for people that have any persistent pain in their feet, or unresolved pain elsewhere in the body, whether the pain stems from soft tissue injuries or sports related injuries. It is also useful for people suffering from pain in the lower back which is exacerbated by walking. The aim is to detect whether your lower limb biomechanics and gait are contributing to your pain/injury/problem.
