Analysis centrum - Orthopädie-Technik Scharpenberg

Your gait pattern in focus: Systematic analysis

A natural gait pattern is crucial for quality of life, especially for those with existing conditions, after surgery, or when using prostheses and orthoses. At our headquarters, we utilize state-of-the-art motion analysis with the “Dartfish” software, supplemented by the “Medilogic” foot pressure measurement system. Your gait is recorded using two high-resolution cameras and analyzed in various phases. The analysis provides important information about joint angles, stride length, and pressure distribution, which can also be visualized using slow-motion functions.

The goal is always the same: to enable you to walk as naturally, safely, and comfortably as possible. This allows us to assess whether a particular assistive device is the right choice, or whether existing orthoses, prostheses, or shoes should be improved. The analysis also provides reliable data for medical reports or for submission to insurance providers.

Motion analysis with added value

Every gait analysis begins with a thorough assessment of your current condition. The combination of video technology, pressure measurement, and movement observation allows us to accurately evaluate your individual situation. Through angle measurement, slow-motion replay, and comparison with reference values, even the smallest deviations from a physiological gait pattern can be detected. This method offers a clear advantage, especially for people with prostheses, back problems, or neurological conditions: abnormalities become visible, targeted corrections can be initiated, and all of this is based on a verifiable, measurable foundation.

Here’s what our customers say

Slide

When my son had a serious sports accident, we were sent from the hospital to Orthopädie Scharpenberg because we needed an orthosis. We were given a very warm welcome, hardly had to wait at all, and the product was explained to us very clearly. We received excellent care in every respect.

Depending on the specific questions, we offer different analysis formats. The STANDARD analysis is suitable for recording basic gait and pressure patterns. For more complex requirements, we recommend the EXTENDED analysis, which additionally considers leg axes and posture. For athletes, the SPORT PLUS option offers an even more in-depth examination with vital signs and sport-specific load analysis. This makes gait analysis a valuable tool for assistive device provision and performance optimization

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a gait analysis work?

First, you will be recorded while moving. Barefoot or with suitable footwear, depending on the purpose of the examination. A foot pressure measurement will be taken at the same time, if necessary. The subsequent digital analysis provides precise information about movement patterns, load distribution, and any deviations.

What do I need to bring to the analysis?

Please wear shorts that cover the knees and a short-sleeved top. Bring a towel and appropriate footwear depending on your goals, such as your everyday shoes, sports shoes, or orthopedic shoes.

What is a gait analysis useful for?

The analysis helps with foot or back problems, aids in the fitting of assistive devices, and supports athletic performance improvement. It can also be used for documentation purposes for health insurance companies.

How do the different forms of analysis differ?

Depending on the depth of the examination, the scope and evaluation vary. The basic STANDARD analysis focuses on gait pattern and pressure distribution. The EXTENDED analysis additionally includes leg axes and posture. SPORT PLUS supplements this with vital signs and sport-specific stress tests.

How long does a gait analysis take?

The duration depends on the chosen analysis package, from approximately 45 minutes for the STANDARD analysis to 90 minutes for SPORT PLUS.
