Biomechanical gait study to analyze your foot strike
A biomechanical gait study is a static and dynamic analysis of your gait that allows evaluation of how the foot relates to the knees, hips, and spine. This study helps detect alterations in support, compensations, and possible causes of pain or injuries related to the musculoskeletal system.
At Pie Vital, we perform a comprehensive assessment through clinical examination, measurements, and dynamic gait analysis to identify functional alterations and establish a tailored treatment plan, aimed at correcting the root cause of the problem and preventing future injuries.
Comprehensive Gait Analysis
We evaluate the foot statically and dynamically to identify alterations in support, load distribution, and gait mechanics.
Musculoskeletal System Assessment
We analyze the relationship of the foot with the knees, hips, and spine to detect compensations that may cause pain or injuries.
Basis for Treatment
The results guide treatments such as custom insoles, exercises, or activity modifications to improve foot function.
Functional Diagnosis to Prevent Injuries
Our team performs a structural and functional examination that allows us to understand how you walk and how your foot behaves during different phases of gait. This information is key to detecting alterations, preventing injuries, and defining the most appropriate treatment in each case.
Frequently asked questions
We answer your questions about the biomechanical study
What is a biomechanical gait study?
It is a static and dynamic assessment of your foot strike that allows us to analyze how you walk and detect functional alterations.
What is the purpose of a biomechanical study?
It helps identify causes of pain, prevent injuries, and guide treatments such as custom insoles or activity modifications.
How long does the study take?
The assessment usually lasts around 30 minutes, depending on the examination and necessary tests.
Is the study painful?
No, it is a clinical assessment without invasive procedures.
Who should undergo a biomechanical study?
People with foot pain, lower limb discomfort, athletes, or patients with gait alterations.
Is it recommended for children?
Yes, especially when there are doubts about their walking pattern, frequent tripping, or delayed gait development.
Does the biomechanical study imply treatment?
Not always, but it helps define if treatment is necessary and which is the most appropriate.
Are insoles always needed after the study?
Not in all cases, although the study forms the basis for designing insoles when indicated.
