Gait and postural assessment is a critical diagnostic tool used to evaluate how person is moving in everyday life. Whether due to injury, aging or congenital conditions, many patients experience with their posture or gait that can lead to pain, reduced mobility and long term complications if left untreated

Before the assessment, no special preparation is typically required. However, patients should wear comfortable clothing and footwear that allows for natural movement. During the consultation, the specialist may ask about your medical history, any injuries, or existing condition that may influence your gait or posture.
The assessment involves observing and analyzing how a patient stands, walks and moves. The process may include visual observations, use of video analysis, and gait analysis systems to track movement in real time. Force plates may be used to measure weight distribution and balance, while motion sensors provide detailed data on how different parts of the body move during walking or standing. Based on the findings, a treatment plan may include physical therapy, corrective exercises, orthotics or posture training.
After the assessment, patients may receive personalized recommendations, including exercises to improve posture, balance and strength. If corrective measures are needed, follow up appointments will be scheduled to track progress and make adjustments to the treatment plan as necessary. Patients are encouraged to practice any prescribed exercises regularly to optimize results and prevent further issues.
