Gait & Foot Function Analysis Seminar

Gait & Foot Function Analysis Seminar

May 3 - 4, 2008 - San Antonio, TX         October 4 - 5, 2008 - Washington, D.C.

The role of force and time in biomechanics.

This course highlights the use of pressure mapping technology to analyze foot function and gait. Pressure mapping is more than vivid graphics of the feet on your computer; it storyboards what is happening during stance and walking.

Tekscan data instantly reveals:
Timing - time the feet are on the ground and speed at which they move
Trajectory - path the center of force travels
Symmetry - gait and isolated pivoting foot curve patterns

Why do these parameters matter?
They indicate the effect of a condition on foot and gait function and guide your treatment approach. Positively affecting these parameters improves function.
