Motion Service

The Motion Analysis Service provides body movement assessments for clients who have problems walking because of musculoskeletal or neurological issues.

The Motion Analysis Service uses technologies like motion capture, high-speed video, and foot pressure measurement to give clinicians in the multidisciplinary team a better understanding of how clients are walking. This type of analysis is also referred to as clinical gait analysis. The motion lab is always looking for new assessment technology that can be of benefit to patients. Patients seen in the Motion Lab usually present with one of the folllowing:

  • cerebral palsy
  • stroke
  • brain injury
  • limb amputation
  • spinal cord injury
  • orthopedic surgery
  • any neurological or muscular problem that has led to a difficult-to-assess gait pattern
