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:

Ankle Measurement

 

             WHAT TO BRING TO THE ASSESSMENT

​

  • Any Health professional referral or scanning you may have in relation to your complaint. 

  • Patients are advised to wear shorts, to allow effective assessment of lower limb function while maintaining comfort and modesty. Short skirts and tight jeans are both unhelpful.

  • Bring with you any shoes that are regularly worn this can include your 'everyday', work and exercise or sport specific footwear (ie Netball shoes, Work Boots, 'everyday' shoes etc)
