Video Gait Analysis
At Stride, Inc. we have a thorough, state-of-the-art evaluation center including Video Gait Analysis and biomechanical evaluation. This assures that your pathologies are identified and a treatment plan is tailored specific to your needs.
Custom Foot Typing
The "24 Foot Types Algorithm" is a clinical algorithm identifying 24 unique foot-types. These 24 foot-types are subdivided into 6 groupings of 4, known as “quads.” Each quad has its own very specific foot and gait characteristics.This clinical assessment algorithm identifies and differentiates the structural and functional aspects of the foot into 6 specific foot "types". Each foot type influences not only your gait but the conditions and pathologies which may affect you throughout your life.
Evaluation Techniques:
- Video Gait Analysis
- Custom Foot Typing
- Weight Bearing Gait Assessment
- Non-weight Bearing Gait Assessment
Your Clinician will determine your foot type using several methods of assessment, including weight-bearing and non-weight bearing techniques. Once your foot-type is determined it will assist us in customizing a treatment plan that best suits your pathologies.
I have worked with Stride now for nearly 10 years, after doing my due diligence and investigating other labs. I was impressed from the beginning with their video gait analysis. I take a short clip of my patient walking on the treadmill with my digital camera and send that in with my casts. I like the idea of a second pair of expert eyes with me during my evaluation to catch subtle nuances that I may miss. I rarely, if ever, have to return the orthotic for modifications. It is perfect nearly every time.
