DATA DRIVEN SOLUTIONS

Using the power of data for informed decision making

Walk better, feel better with Walk3D!

Walking is fundamental to our lives, but issues like pain, imbalances, or underlying conditions can affect people at every age. Children may encounter challenges such as fatigue or discomfort during physical activities, while adults might seek to increase their walking or hiking without discomfort. Older adults often face difficulties due to decreased strength, flexibility, and balance, increasing their risk of falls and strains. Walk3D provides a comprehensive, data-driven solution for assessing and addressing these issues, making it easier for everyone to walk confidently and comfortably.

Discomfort while walking can be influenced by a combination of personal factors (like biomechanics and muscle strength) and environmental factors (like footwear and terrain). By analysing your walking mechanics, gait patterns, and musculoskeletal function, Walk3D identifies key areas of concern such as excessive loading, imbalances, or movement patterns that could affect your walking ability and overall performance.

Our advanced assessment allows us to create personalised, targeted interventions to address your specific needs. Whether it’s helping a child enjoy activities with ease, supporting an adult’s fitness goals, or reducing fall risks for older adults, Walk3D provides valuable insights and corrective strategies to prevent discomfort, promote long-term health, and improve your overall well-being. Walk better, feel better, and enjoy the freedom to move with Walk3D.

How can we help you walk better and more confidently?

Objective Measures

Using advanced 3D motion capture cameras, we precisely assess known walking-related risk factors and compare your results to a database of healthy individuals. This enables us to accurately identify asymmetries, imbalances, and high-risk movement patterns in your walking mechanics.

With this information, we create data-driven interventions designed to effectively reduce your risk of discomfort and enhance your walking performance.

Strength Testing

Our musculoskeletal assessment measures a wide range of risk factors, such as muscle strength, range of motion, stability, and function. By comparing your results to those of our healthy controls, we gain valuable insights into areas that require improvement.

This information is incorporated into your personalised plan to target those specific needs and reduce your risk of discomfort while enhancing your walking performance.

Gait Retraining

Gait re-education is a key tool for minimising the risk of developing walking-related conditions and enhancing your movement efficiency.


Using real-time gait analysis, we can closely monitor the impact of the retraining process on your walking mechanics and evaluate the effectiveness of our recommendations.

Quantify Intervention

At Walk3D, we have the tools to accurately measure the impact of our interventions on your walking. Whether it’s providing specific gait re-education cues, implementing a strengthening programme, or offering footwear advice, we can precisely assess whether our recommendations are achieving the desired outcomes.

Walking-related conditions can be complex. At Walk3D, we tackle them with the scientific rigour necessary for achieving success.

Walk3D Assessment Pathway

Reason for Visit

Your clinician will take a history to understand any current and previous injuries, and your activity goals.

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

Walk3D uses exactly the same technology as specialist orthopaedic hospitals and research centres.

The 3D motion capture cameras measure the positions of the reflective markers 200 times a second. The data is used to calculate exactly how your pelvis, hips, knees and ankles are moving as you walk, enabling us to identify any abnormal gait patterns, imbalances or inefficiencies in your movement, leading to individualised treatment plans.

Gait Analysis

Your clinician will ask you to warm-up on the treadmill for as long as you need, and when you are ready clinican will start collecting data.

Walk3D's advanced technology captures real-time measurements of your movement patterns, enabling your clinician to immediately identify any asymmetries or abnormal patterns in your gait. Using Walk3D, your clinician can see degrees of movement that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

During the assessment, your clinician may capture tests at different  walking speeds, or with different footwear, tailoring the process to your specific needs. If appropriate, they may provide gait re-education to help improve abnormal movement patterns.

Individualised care is always at the forefront of our approach, and your clinician will prioritise what is most appropriate for your unique case.

Musculoskeletal Testing

After your gait analysis, your clinician will carry-out 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 and complete our understanding of your movement patterns. 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 treatment program. We use the results to guide our decisions, pinpointing areas that require attention and developing targeted strategies to enhance your biomechanical function.

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.

With the powerful insights provided by Walk3D, we can identify your unique walking characteristics, laying the foundation for effective, targeted strategies.

Whether you're aiming to start a new activity or improve your current walking routine, your clinician will use the results to provide you with personalised recommendations and strategies to address any imbalances or abnormalities and enhance your efficiency.

We empower you with the information you need to optimise your movement.

Recommendations

The results of your assessment will be used to provide a data-driven programme aimed at enhancing your movement patterns. This may include strength and conditioning, home exercises, physiotherapy, footwear or orthotic recommendations, gait re-education, or referral to another practitioner.

Our objective is to help you achieve your goals effectively. By combining the expertise of our clinicians with the insights gained from your Walk3D assessment, we can build a comprehensive roadmap that guides your activity journey towards successful outcomes.

Trust the process and our commitment to you as we work together to optimise your musculoskeletal health.
