What is a Bio mechanical assessment?
A bio mechanical assessment is often utilised to assess an individual’s walking or running style. Here at the Performance Physio Clinic we use the latest in video gait analysis to record your running style whilst you are on our state of the art treadmill.
We utilise slow motion footage to analyse your specific style looking at areas such as:
- Heal strike
- Stride length
- Cadence
- Knee extension flexion angle
- Knee and Hip Alignment
- Lumbar-pelvic stability
- Thoracic spine position
- Head and neck position
- Shoulder position
- Arm swing
Treatment following a bio mechanical assessment may include several treatments we may use to alleviate your bio mechanical problems including:
- Adapting walking/running style with cues
- Muscle imbalance correction
- Strengthening exercises
- Stretching exercises
- Advice on activity and loading program
- Proprioceptive exercises
- Neuromuscular control exercises
