Pain when standing, walking or running is not normal.
An abnormal stance, posture or walking or running pattern can produce a number of problems that prevent you from functioning normally.
Gait analysis is the examination of how you stand, walk and/or run. As a house needs good foundations so do you, but your foundations also need to move.
It is often necessary to look carefully at how you walk or run to identify posture- or movement- relates problems if you are experiencing symptoms in your feet, knees, hips or lower back.
Gait analysis includes
• Full medical and social history
• Details on levels of activity
• Examination of joints in the lower limbs, both sitting and standing
• Observation of joints, muscles and tendons during walking, and possibly running
• Examination of all footwear and related sports equipment as appropriate
• A diagnosis and explanation of the problem
• Treatment
