Biomechanical Assessment
A Biomechanical assessment is a detailed analysis of your foot and lower limb posture and function. This helps to diagnose pain or injury, and to determine contributing factors to your complaint. It allows us to identify abnormalities, insufficiencies and how the body compensates for these irregularities.
This information will help us to correct any identified contributing factors, and to take preventative measures to decrease the chances of your injury or pain recurring or failing to heal. Generally a Biomechanical assessment will undertake often in static and dynamic weight and non- bearing setting this includes:
​
-
Detailed assessment of your injury and the surrounding relevant anatomy.
-
Joint range of motion and muscle testing,
-
Footwear assessment and if needed an orthotic review.
