A Digital Video analysis assessment is an extended physical and biomechanical assessment using video footage to highlight patients’ problems.  It is used predominantly for running and activity related lower limb pain and dysfunction.  There is a strong emphasis on movement analysis, posture and identification of muscle imbalance and the affects of these on patients’ complaints.

Assessment includes a standard physiotherapy assessment plus more detailed evaluation of:

	Digital video recording and analysis of walking and running on a treadmill
	Muscle and soft tissue length and its affect and relationship to what seen on video
	Muscle strength and it’s implication on movement patterns
	Postural type and its influence on running/movement
	Core stability strength and areas of weakness
	Assessment of foot mechanics plus any corrective advice or orthotics as required
