Welcome to London Gait Analysis

At London Gait Analysis, we specialise in the measurement and analysis of knee movement as well as thigh and calf motion. 

Using the most advanced technology, we can accurately and quickly analyse your gait to provide important information to support the treatment of knee, hip and spinal problems. 

Our system enables a digital gait analysis to be completed in just a few minutes.  The data obtained during this non-invasive procedure allows us to capture and show the patterns of a range of key movements in 3D format. 

An informative and precise digital gait analysis system

The numerical data gathered is also displayed as a series of easy to understand graphs showing the range and pattern of movement. This detailed information can provide an invaluable tool to aid the diagnosis and treatment of specific knee, hip and spinal conditions.

This comprehensive analysis clearly illustrates:

·         Stance phase – analysis of what occurs during the weight bearing part of the gait.

·         Swing phase – what happens to the movements of the leg as you lift your foot off the ground to prepare for the next step.

Our digital gait analysis system can be used across all age ranges and all levels of fitness.  Tests are conducted without the use of treadmills or purpose built environments. This ensures that the data we produce reflects natural, everyday movement and therefore delivers an authentic and reliable gait analysis.

The applications of gait analysis  

London Gait Analysis is based at St Olaf House, London Bridge Hospital.  Within our specialised unit we can quickly provide a comprehensive suite of information about the way you are moving.

This information has proven itself to be extremely valuable for therapists including orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, and physiotherapists to support accurate diagnosis and degree of severity.  It is of particular value in following and assessing the outcome of treatment. When undertaken before and after treatment, it provides objective evidence of progress.

The system has been fully validated and has been used to evaluate complainants seeking compensation through the courts in personal injury cases. Additionally, it serves as an accurate tool to establish genuine cases from individuals that may be malingering.

Our system is also used by professional sportspeople to monitor and track sports injuries, as well as being used as a tool to improve performance.  Our entirely portable digital gait analysis system can be used on site at your track or sports arena on request.
