Purefunction Offers a Free Digital Video Gait Analysis for Foot, Ankle, Heel and Orthotics

Online, August 15, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Digital Video Gait Analysis is a technique used for many years by podiatrists to help assess the structure and function of the feet and legs.

Digital Video Gait makes the invisible, visible. Instant visual feedback in treatment sessions allows patients to see immediately and exactly what their body is doing. Superimpose clips or use side-by-side comparison with before and after shots to immediately see the progress of the treatment, make the healing process a lot faster and improve the patients' treatment.

Gait analysis is used on a daily basis as a component of the physical evaluation of the presenting patient. Typically, gait analysis consists of watching a patient walk back and forth in a hallway. The information observed in the gait analysis helps to reveal the cause the patient's presenting symptoms.
Gait analysis provides valuable information to the practitioner but provides no visual feedback for you "the patient" relating to the way you walk or run.

Since the introduction of PediGait into our office, we have elevated clinical gait analysis to the next level by providing more informed patient education as well as direct visual feedback to help you to understand why you have foot, ankle, shin, knee, and hip and back pain.

The useful application for the PediGait system is that it can be utilized to perform comparisons on the same subject from different captures. For example, pre and post-surgery, post orthotic intervention, post footwear change and following orthotic modification.

As of March 2012 Purefunction Orthotics Centre Mississauga have incorporated High Speed Digital Video Gait Analysis to clinical biomechanical examinations. Mississauga & Brantford chiropodists offer custom orthotics & other podiatric treatments for heel pain & plantar fasciitis as well as podiatric biomechanics.
