Electronic Gait Scan Analysis


Blog by Vancouver Orthotics, Hycroft Medical Building (114-3195 Granville St @ 16th Ave) | November 19th, 2016


A person’s gait refers to the rate of movement and manner of walking, and is a crucial component in diagnosing and treating foot, ankle, knee, hip, and low back pain. Electronic gait scan analysis is a particular type of exam used to determine the fitness of foot function and mobility, and is used to detect deficiencies in movement that could be causing the pains listed above. An electronic gait scan analysis provides vital information used to create a custom orthotic insert, and is part of every orthotic examination here at Vancouver Orthotics. If you want to know if custom orthotic inserts are the solution you are looking for, or if you are in need of a new pair, please give us a call and we’d be more than happy to schedule you for an examination!
Note from Dr. Michael: Hi everyone! In 2012 our office incorporated the Electric Gait Scan Analysis tool to maximize our assessment tools and help create the best custom orthotic inserts possible. If you’ve never had your feet analyzed, this is the tool! A 3-dimenstional image is determined based on static and dynamic movement. These tools take into account time and pressure, all very important factors in the way your feet distribute pressure. If you are unsure if you would benefit from custom orthotic or if you are just curious with how your feet are treating you; come in and get your Electronic Gait Scan Analysis done today.
