Dynamic Gait Scan for Real-Time Foot Movement Analysis

Gait scanning in physical therapy clinics is a tool for analyzing patients' walking patterns and aids in rehabilitation planning. Clinicians measure parameters such as ground reaction forces, joint angles, and步态 symmetry using force plates and motion capture systems. For instance, a knee arthritis patient may reduce knee flexion in the stance phase, which alters foot pressure distribution. The gait scan data assists in selection of exercises (e.g., quadriceps strengthening) and orthotic devices aimed at increasing efficiency of walking and alleviating pain. After surgery, gait scans are used in progress tracking by measuring movement patterns before and after treatment to safeguard active movement return to functional tasks. The gait scan data can be used to improve the level of responsibility in treatment and answer changes to therapy plans based on objective data.
