bi·o·me·chan·ics /ˌbīōməˈkaniks/

Biomechanics, especially foot biomechanics, is the science of how the musculoskeletal structure and movement of the foot and ankle work together to produce movement. Biomechanical dysfunction is an acquired change in musculoskeletal mechanics that result in faulty movement patterns.

• Physical gait analysis is taken to observe abnormalities in the movement from step to step.

  • Scissor gait

  • Genu Recurvatum / Genu Recurvatum 

  • LLD (Limb Length Discrepancy)

    • Functional, Congenital or Musculoskeletal

• Video Analysis  (Slow-motion for greater detail during swing phase of gait)

• Palpation of  affected areas 

  • • assessment of "Hot Spots" or "ulcerations"

    • Bunions / Hammer toes / Corns, Calluses

  • ROM (range of  Movement)

    • Dorsiflexion / plantarflexion

    • Inversion / Eversion

    • Joint movement

• Assessment of current footwear an modalities associated with the gait
