Lost Creek Physiotherapist Uses High-Speed Cameras For Running Gait Evaluation

What you don’t see or know can hurt you. For instance, poor running form can cause a host of problems. That’s why Axiom Physiotherapy offers a comprehensive analysis so you can run like a pro. The evaluation aims to correct your form so you can prevent injuries and optimize your finish times. High-speed cameras are used to take rear and side view footage at 120 frames per second, revealing issues not readily visible to the naked eye. 

Taking advantage of this assessment can help you address issues such as runner’s knee, shin splints, and plantar fasciitis. During the session, the staff will provide real-time feedback on how to improve your form. Furthermore, you will receive a written report with a frame- by-frame analysis 24 hours after the evaluation.

Running is a popular fitness activity because of its relatively low barrier to entry.  In fact, Livestrong reports that about 50 million Americans regularly run, representing 15% of the population.

However, you may not be aware of proper running form, which adds undue stress to your joints, muscles, and ligaments, potentially leading to injuries. By employing science- backed techniques, Axiom Physiotherapy can detect and address these often unseen problems. 

Before the analysis, physical therapists will review your shoe selection, running mileage, and injury history.  During the session, all aspects of your running form — including stride length and foot strike — will be evaluated.
