Optogait Testing

Optogait is an innovative system for movement analysis and functional assessment of patients with normal or pathological conditions. The system is equipped with optical sensors and cameras used to evaluate walking, running, and jumping. It gives objective measurements to detect problem areas, assesses mechanical inefficiencies, and asymmetries between the two legs.
Results of testing help the development of a customized patient recovery plan. It also allows us to compare very quickly and easily data of tests carried out at different times. We use Optogait to:

• Assess objectively the patient’s general physical conditions
• Identify deficiencies, postural problems and asymmetries and determine how the patients’ performance is being affected
• Develop and apply therapeutic exercise and activities
• Prevent relapses and complications of patient’s symptoms and conditions
• Motivate patients by giving tangible proof of improvement
• Compare post- and pre-accident values if available
• Verify, in a dynamic situation, the efficacy of arch supports, insoles or functional tapes
• Compare various shoes and their effect on the patient’s gait
