Cutting Edge Gait Analysis
Introducing WALK3D at Cutting Edge Podiatry
At Cutting Edge Podiatry, we have been operating the only Run3D gait analysis system in East Anglia for some time. We are excited to announce that following the recent release of WALK3D, we now also have this new technology available for our clients.
What is Walk 3D?
Walk3D is where the science of movement meets everyday life. It was designed for everyone, from older adults simply
wanting to stay active to fitness enthusiasts. Walk3D provides evidence-based insights and solutions for improving daily movement and overall well-being.
Hip, Knee, or Foot Pain?
If you are suffering from hip, knee, or foot pain, Walk3D gait analysis can help. Using special infrared cameras to precisely measure how your pelvis, hips, knees, and ankles are moving, Walk3D identifies deviations from a typical gait pattern. This musculoskeletal examination helps us further understand your biomechanical profile. Using Walk3D, we establish a clear picture of how you are moving and why you are moving in this way.
Do You Need Help With Knee Osteoarthritis?
With Walk3D, we can help you with knee osteoarthritis. Walk3D helps us to identify any movement patterns and asymmetries that may be affecting your ability to walk. This is a first and effective step towards a personalised plan.
There are a number of biomechanical risk factors associated with knee osteoarthritis. This includes kinematic risk factors and musculoskeletal risk factors. Walk3D helps us to objectively assess these factors (and more).
Kinematic Risk Factors
↓Pelvic tilt
↓Knee flexion peak
↑ Knee flexion at footstrike
↓Over-stride (step length)
↑Step width
↓Hip Abduction
↓Hip Rotation
↑&↓Foot Progression
↓Ankle Dorsiflexion
↓Walking Speed
Musculoskeletal Risk Factors
↓ Quadriceps strength
↓ Hamstring strength
↓ Hip abductor strength
↓ Gluteal strength
↓ Knee flexion range
↓ Hip rotation range
↓ Knee extension range
↓ Ankle dorsiflexion range
↑ Varus knee alignmen
