Video Gait Analysis

Gait analysis allows careful evaluation of hind foot, mid foot and forefoot function.

This slide shows moderate mid stance pronation.

Pronation of this magnitude often leads to stress syndromes in the lower extremity i.e. stress fractures, shin splints, and tendinitis (esp. in the knee & ankle).

Severe mid stance pronation associated with a torn posterior tibial tendon.
