What is a biomechanical exam?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A biomechanical foot exam is a comprehensive evaluation of the structure, movement, and forces applied to your feet, ankles, and knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This biomechanical assessment helps us understand how your feet support your weight and posture, so we can recommend tailored, effective solutions such as custom foot orthotics<\/a>, for example.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What is gait analysis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gait analysis complements the biomechanical assessment. It observes your weight bearing and stride in motion, barefoot and in footwear. For athletes, a treadmill test may be performed to optimize performance and help prevent injuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who can benefit from a biomechanical exam and gait analysis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A biomechanical assessment and gait analysis can help a wide range of patients. Here is how each group may benefit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Children can develop foot problems from a very young age. A biomechanical assessment helps detect abnormalities early, support healthy growth, and guide correction before pain or imbalances set in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Adults<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Adults with chronic pain or discomfort related to their work may benefit from a personalized analysis to identify the causes of foot or joint pain and improve daily comfort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Seniors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For older adults, a biomechanical assessment helps prevent falls, correct postural imbalances, and improve stability and mobility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Athletes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For athletes, the assessment helps optimize stride, distribute weight bearing evenly, and prevent injuries caused by misalignment or repetitive overload.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
