Gait Analysis in Málaga

We offer professional, fully personalized gait analysis in Mijas Costa, Málaga, and recommend the solution that best suits your needs.

Study of the Footprint in Costa del Sol

At Ortopedia Juan Bravo in Mijas, Málaga, we offer a biomechanical gait analysis based on the latest technology and precision. Our analysis system allows us to perform a thorough examination of each patient’s gait and walking pattern efficiently and quickly. After the analysis, we obtain detailed results that enable us to carry out a personalized gait assessment, identifying any potential associated pathologies. In addition, we design custom insoles that are perfectly tailored to each patient’s individual needs, providing a precise and effective orthopedic solution.

Your Footprint Study with the Latest Technology in Spain

This study of the footprint consists of a computer program designed by the German brand Schein, together with a gait tape to analyze both the footprint and the gait of any type of person (whether they are children, the elderly, athletes, etc.). The advantage of the treadmill is that while other analysis platforms can only measure a certain distance of a few meters, different parameters of the treadmill can be analyzed during the journey and time that is necessary for each case, as well as at different speeds (in some cases the tread becomes dysfunctional with increasing walking speed, but it is not when walking, for example).

Biomechanical Analysis in Mijas Costa

The Biomechanical Analysis offered by Ortopedia Juan Bravo in Mijas Costa is structured in two phases for a complete and precise evaluation.

Phase 1: Dynamic gait analysis, determining the type of foot and step pattern, observing foot rotation, stride length, body alignment while walking, and the individual’s center of gravity.
Phase 2: Static foot evaluation to analyze pressure points and their anatomical location, providing crucial information about areas of excessive load and the overall weight distribution on each foot.

This comprehensive assessment allows us to accurately and thoroughly identify each patient’s orthopedic needs, offering personalized and effective solutions to improve their health and well-being.

Study of the Footprint in Costa del Sol

This biomechanical study of the footprint consists of two parts:

The first one consists of the dynamic study of gait, which in addition to providing information about the type of foot (flat, cavus) and the type of footprint (pronator, supinator) that the person has, we can also observe:

THE ROTATION OF THE FEET AND THE WIDTH OF THE STEP

It can help to detect other types of pathologies

THE TRACE THAT THE BODY MAKES WHEN TAKING EACH STEP

Since it begins supporting the heel until it ends supporting the inner part, which can be incomplete in some cases and this is the cause of the problem

THE PERSON'S CENTER OF GRAVITY

It is a very important point to analyze when it comes to possible gait pathologies; This can sometimes be displaced, due to continued pain, it may be that the pathology itself is the one that causes the displacement, or because of a dismetria, etc.

IN SOME CASES...

In some cases, although the gait study is not considered a diagnostic test as such, it can help the specialist doctor to determine the cause of the problem.

In the second part, an evaluation of the foot in a static position is carried out, which informs about the pressure points and their anatomical location, to determine the areas where the person loads excessively, as well as the total load exerted on each foot.

Personalized gait analysis and assessment

Each step of the patient is meticulously recorded for a thorough analysis. This detailed recording allows for an in-depth examination of each individual’s gait and an accurate understanding of their orthopedic needs. Based on the collected data, our team designs custom orthopedic insoles, ensuring effective and comfortable solutions that improve our patients’ quality of life and well-being.

Gait testing and virtual training

At Ortopedia Juan Bravo, we include virtual training as a complement to our gait testing. This method offers a unique immersive experience with a walking test in front of a screen that recreates an interactive virtual environment. This simulation allows for a more accurate gait assessment and provides training opportunities tailored to each patient’s individual needs.
