DATA DRIVEN SOLUTIONS

Walk3D is the path to a more active, healthier lifestyle

Walk3D for Active Living

At Walk3D, we have the advanced technology to critically evaluate all aspects of your gait and musculoskeletal function with the same precision and rigour that is usually reserved for and used in research.

By identifying your unique biomechanical weaknesses, we can deliver data-driven recommendations to enhance your overall movement patterns, allowing you to participate in your desired activities, free from pain and with ease.

Experience the power of Walk3D's advanced analysis to maximise a healthier lifestyle, boost your performance, and enjoy greater confidence in every step you take

How can we help improve your activity?

Data-Driven Insight

Using state-of-the-art technology, we precisely measure your 3D joint movement.

These data-driven insights empower us to identify and address any existing limitations.

By optimising your biomechanics, we aim to enhance your movement patterns through more efficient movement and by minimising the potential for discomfort.

Musculoskeletal Test

Using objective measurements, we assess your strength, flexibility, alignment, stability and function.

This comprehensive evaluation allows us to accurately identify any deficiencies or asymmetries in your musculoskeletal system and implement targeted  interventions to address them effectively, enabling you to function at your best.

Gait Retraining

Gait re-education is a key tool for enhancing movement efficiency and minimising the potential for discomfort.

With our real-time gait analysis, we can closely monitor the effectiveness of the retraining process and critically evaluate the outcomes of our recommendations.

This enables us to provide valuable insights and make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal results.

Monitor Progress

By using real data and measurable outcomes, we can continuously monitor the effectiveness of every aspect of our approach.

Our advanced platforms provide us with a fool-proof method of assessing your progress so that we can confidently track your advancements and make necessary adjustments to ensure that your goals are consistently met at every stage of the process.

Walk3D Assessment Pathway

Reason for Visit

Your clinician will begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment of your goals and your relevant medical history, which will include a discussion on any current and previous injuries.

Next, your clinician will attach 39 reflective markers to  your legs and shoes, carefully positioned on key anatomical landmarks.

Using cutting-edge technology identical to that used at elite sports performance centres, our 3D motion capture cameras record the positions of these markers 200 times a second.

This wealth of data allows us to precisely evaluate the movement patterns of your pelvis, hips, knees and ankles as you run. By analysing this information, we can pinpoint any irregular gait patterns, identify imbalances and uncover inefficiencies.

With our comprehensive analysis, we provide you with the tools to unlock your activity potential and optimise movement gains.

Gait Analysis

The process begins with a warm-up on the treadmill for as long as you require, and when you are ready, the clinician will start collecting data. Walk3D's state-of-the-art motion capture technology allows us to capture real-time measurements of your movement patterns, providing us with immediate insights into your biomechanics.

With Walk3D, we can identify any asymmetries or irregularities in your gait that may impact your activities or overall comfort. These precise measurements reveal degrees of movement that are often imperceptible to the naked eye.

During the assessment, your clinician may capture tests at different speeds or evaluate the effects of different footwear, tailoring the process to meet your specific requirements. If necessary, they may provide gait re-education to help address and improve any abnormal movement patterns identified.

Our approach is rooted in individualised care, and your clinician will prioritise what is most appropriate for your unique case.

Musculoskeletal Testing

The next step involves a comprehensive set of objective clinical tests to precisely measure your strength, range of motion, alignment, and neuromuscular control.

These tests provide us with valuable data that further enhances our understanding of your biomechanics. By combining the results of these musculoskeletal tests with the detailed analysis of your gait, we gain thorough insight of how your body is moving and why it may be moving in this particular way.

The data we have collected serves as the foundation of your individualised recommendations program. We leverage these results to inform our decision making process, identifying specific areas that require attention and developing targeted strategies to enhance your biomechanical function.

With this integrated approach, we can optimise your performance by addressing any limitations, imbalances, or inefficiencies that may be hindering your movement patterns or causing pain.

Report Review

Our expert clinician will review your report with you, piecing together all the information to gain a comprehensive understanding of your body's mechanics and using the data to create an individualised plan based on your results.

Whether you are starting a new exercsie regime, or already have a high level of activity in your lifesylte,  your clinician will use the results to provide you with individualised recommendations and strategies to address any imbalances or abnormalities and improve efficiency.

Our aim is to provide you with the necessary information and tools to optimise your movement. Through an individualised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, we strive to maximise your strengths, minimise weaknesses, and assist you in achieving your activity goals

Recommendations

The outcomes of your assessment will serve as the foundation for activity and healthy lifestyle recommendations and rehabilitation program. This comprehensive plan will be driven by data and tailored to your specific needs. It may encompass various elements such as targeted strength and conditioning exercises, footwear or orthotic recommendations, or gait re-education.

Our primary objective is to assist you in achieving your activity goals effectively. By leveraging the expertise of our clinicians and combining it with the valuable insights obtained from your Walk3D assessment, we can construct a comprehensive roadmap that guides your rehabilitation journey towards successful outcomes.

Your Walk3D assessment marks the initial step in your pathway to a healthier lifesylte. We encourage you to trust the process and together we will diligently work to unlock your full potential.

Case Study

This case study is an elite female athlete, 27 years of age, who faced persistent and recurring right-sided pain that hindered her ability to train at full capacity.

A Run3D assessment revealed that she exhibited a forefoot strike landing with no heel contact on the right side, resulting in elevated pelvic rotation and hip adduction. To address these issues, gait retraining and targeted rehabilitation were recommended.

Within one year of her Run3D assessment, she recorded a personal best time by 10 minutes in the marathon and represented Great Britain.

This inspiring outcome demonstrates the powerful impact of the gait retraining and targeted rehabilitation, which allowed the athlete to overcome her persistent pain, train at full capacity and reach her running potential.
