The appointment
What you should expect
Our assessment of your standing & walking is based around the philosophy that there are ideal parameters for 'normal'.
We look for dysfunctions from the norm & asymmetrical patterns of standing and moving, all the time recognising that everyone is subtly different.
​
Clinical podiatric biomechanics is the study of how mechanical forces affect human tissues throughout stance & gait.
'Biomechanical' assessments are really orthopaedic tests of joint and bone positions & movements, as well as muscle testing for length and strength in the lower-limb.
Biomechanics involves assessing the forces affecting the lower-limb from the ground up.
​
Once the assessment has been completed, a treatment plan is advised. This many include prescribing orthotics if any adjustment is recommended.
