At Advance Orthopedic and Sports Therapy, we implement the Coach’s Eye Video Analysis into our diagnostic testing as a way to assess your gait and running mechanics. This analysis is used as a way to figure out how running efficiency can be increased, in order to improve overall performance and reduce your risk of injury. If you are a runner and you are looking to improve your technique and form, or if you are recovering from an injury and would like to see how your body is compensating, contact our physical therapy office today to learn more about running and gait video analysis in Tewksbury, MA!
Why we use video running analyses:
This form of diagnostic testing can evaluate several parts of your body at once, such as:
- Cadence
- Pelvic control
- Foot strike
- Base of support
- Vertical displacement
When you participate in a video gait and running analysis, you will be asked to run on a treadmill for a few minutes at differing speeds. At each speed, a recording will be taken of your side and your back. The movement analysis software of Dartfish will then slow down each recording to pinpoint which areas are at risk for sustaining an injury, as well as which ones could use efficiency improvement.
When the system detects a movement fault, one of our highly trained physical therapists will then conduct a physical evaluation to determine the underlying causes of said fault by examining the joint(s) and muscle capacity. A treatment plan will then be designed to correct the fault.
