A structured assessment built around your symptoms, movement and goals.
We begin by discussing your symptoms and relevant history before assessing how your foot, ankle and lower limb move and function, and how they tolerate load.
The assessment is tailored to your presentation, so the specific tests and analysis used will depend on your symptoms and what we find.
A detailed history, palpation and clinical provocation tests to understand your symptoms and identify the structures involved.
Assessment of strength, mobility and physical capacity to understand how your lower limb functions and tolerates load.
Video gait analysis and pressure mapping where relevant to assess movement and loading during walking or running.
Finding the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
The assessment brings together information about your symptoms, clinical findings, movement, strength, mobility and loading to build a clearer clinical picture. We are looking to understand three key questions:
Which tissue is being overloaded?
Why is it being overloaded?
What needs to change?
Your findings are brought together into a clear clinical picture.
The assessment findings are analysed together to identify the factors most relevant to your symptoms. These findings form the basis of your Precision Gait Report and Recovery Plan.
Your report explains the key findings from your assessment and provides the foundation for what happens next.
The assessment is designed for people who want to understand why their symptoms are persisting.
