When it comes to pain, injury, or poor posture, the root cause often lies in the way we move. Small, unnoticed irregularities in your walking or running pattern called gait abnormalities, can gradually lead to joint stress, muscle imbalances, recurring injuries, and reduced performance.
At My Pain Clinic, a state-of-the-art physiotherapy centre in Mumbai, we believe that true recovery starts with understanding the root cause of the problem. Our advanced Micro Gait Analysis & Correction service uses the latest technology to uncover these hidden movement flaws. Whether you’re struggling with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or looking to enhance athletic performance, our walking and running gait analysis offers deep insights into how your body moves and what needs to change.
What is Micro Gait Analysis?
Micro gait analysis is a detailed assessment conducted to understand how you walk or run, identifying even the slightest imbalances, asymmetries, or mechanical inefficiencies in your movement. These subtle irregularities may not be noticeable in day-to-day life but can significantly impact your physical health over time, contributing to chronic pain, recurring injuries, and performance limitations.
At our cutting-edge physiotherapy facility in Bandra, we utilize OptoGait, an innovative movement analysis system that is designed to provide you with precise walking gait analysis and running gait analysis. This innovation allows us to detect abnormalities that can affect your posture, joint health, or biomechanics.
How OptoGait Works
OptoGait is an advanced system that operates using high-frequency optical sensors to precisely measure the space and time parameters of your movement. Combined with integrated video acquisition, it allows us to create a comprehensive picture of your gait pattern.
The system does more than just measure how you walk or run. It helps our experts:
- Detect postural problems, imbalances, and deficiencies
- Measure leg asymmetry in real-time
- Track changes and improvements across multiple sessions
- Create custom rehabilitation plans tailored to your needs
- Verify the effectiveness of orthotics, insoles, or taping techniques
- Compare pre- and post-treatment performance or injury metrics
Benefits of Micro Gait Analysis
- Gait analysis offers a detailed evaluation of the patient’s overall physical condition.
- It helps identify issues such as postural problems, movement deficiencies, and leg asymmetries based on data and videos, and determines how the performance of a patient is being affected.
- Enables the development of targeted rehabilitation plans and orthopedic solutions based on precise biomechanical insights.
- Helps prevent relapses, complications, and worsening of underlying musculoskeletal issues.
- Allows for ongoing monitoring to verify the effectiveness of treatment protocols over time.
- Motivates patients by showing clear, measurable proof of progress and recovery.
- Offers pre- and post-injury comparisons to track recovery and inform treatment adjustments.
- Assesses the effectiveness of orthotics, such as insoles, arch supports, or taping techniques, in real-world movement.
- Helps compare different footwear options and their impact on gait and movement efficiency.
What You Can Expect
During your gait assessment, you will be asked to walk or run on a treadmill as the OptoGait sensors capture key metrics like stride length, step timing, balance, and pressure distribution. The system instantly identifies areas of concern, and our skilled physiotherapists will walk you through the results using video feedback and easy-to-understand visuals.
After which, we design a personalized correction plan, which may include therapeutic exercises, physiotherapy sessions, strength training, or orthotic support to address the root causes of your gait issues.
If you’re dealing with chronic pain, frequent injuries, or simply want to perform at your best, don’t ignore how you move. Our Micro Gait Analysis & Correction service at our advanced physiotherapy centre in Bandra West is designed to give you the clarity and tools you need to walk, run, and live better.
