Gait and Running Analysis

Prevent and Manage Injuries
with Gait Analysis

A gait analysis provides an overall assessment of how somebody walks and runs. During a gait analysis, one can use instrumentation to measure & analyze a person’s movements while identifying biomechanical abnormalities during their gait cycle. The primary application for gait analysis is to assess and remedy individuals with conditions that affect their ability to walk. However gait analysis is also commonly used in sports to help athletes enhance performance, run more efficiently, and to identify asymmetries & deficits in order to prevent or manage injuries.

Noraxon Gait Analysis

A Noraxon gait analysis allows users to identify movement patterns that the eyes cannot see, thereby providing an objective & data-driven approach to help guide a treatment or training plan. With a complete Noraxon system, a user is able to efficiently analyze all biomechanical aspects of locomotion, including: stride kinematics, footstrike mechanics, plantar pressure distribution, and other spatiotemporal parameters like cadence and stride length along with a synchronized visual reference.
