Gait assessments are a huge piece of the puzzle when we want to understand a patient's movement, comfort and overall function. 

​

Patients can be incredibly good at compensating for pain. Instead of limping, they may shift their weight, shorten their stride, or adjust how they stand or sit. Gait assessments can help us identify these compensations and treat them- before they lead to more significant problems. 

​

Each patient that does Rehab therapy or hydrotherapy with us receives frequent gait assessments to help us monitor how they are doing, and catch any subtle changes to their gait. 

​

Gait assessments can help us with the following: 

​

• Catch Problems Early

• Identify Areas of Pain

• Reveal Compensation Patterns

• Track Progress Over Time

• Guide Treatment Plans

​

Ultimately, gait assessments help us to help patients move more comfortably, stay active longer, and recover from injury faster.
