Biomechanical Lower Extremity Assessments are hour-long sessions with our physical therapist who has advanced education in biomechanical analysis and orthotic fabrication. A Biomechanical Lower Extremity Assessment is designed to analyze your body’s alignment and movement patterns under a variety of conditions including standing, squatting, lunging, walking, running, and hopping. We will correlate these findings with those of our physical therapy evaluation which assesses lower extremity alignment, foot structure, range of motion, flexibility, strength, and pain. The information obtained in the assessment allows the physical therapist to formulate a treatment strategy to correct any faulty movement patterns that are present, improve your efficiency of movement, and maximize your recovery and function. Additionally, we will provide footwear recommendations with a customized referral form to take to your shoe store of choice.
Biomechanical Lower Extremity Assessments are valuable for anyone suffering from pain, poor movement patterns, and difficulty with daily activities. If you have leg pain with walking, squatting, stair climbing among other activities this assessment can help. Competitive or recreational athletes benefit from a Biomechanical Lower Extremity Assessment to improve speed and power performance, decrease injury frequency and reduce pain with sports.
