Often, changes in gait are related to underlying medical conditions, including inner ear disorders, nervous system disorders, muscle diseases and musculoskeletal abnormalities. Diagnostic tools for physical therapists to identify the root cause of gait dysfunction may include observation, gait speed measurement, balance tests, strength and range of motion measurements and reflex and sensation screenings.
Gait analysis identifies and treats the root cause of gait dysfunction. By identifying the root cause, your physical therapist can create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals and get you back to moving freely without long term gait abnormalities and further dysfunction.
“I was totally against physical therapy because it seemed they would give you a copy of an exercise to do and send you on your way and then charge an enormous amount. Then I went to Peak Physical Therapy and they changed my mind forever. The people at Peak Physical Therapy are truly caring people. No matter your problem they do whatever it takes to make you feel better. They show so much kindness to everyone. I recommend them to everyone in need. Thanks again Peak Physical Therapy!!!”
