Just as important as a complete gait assessment is an athlete’s follow up. After a video analysis, and following any therapy or exercise recommendations that are made to improve your gait, another assessment should be made to observe whether improvements in gait have indeed occurred. How soon this is performed after the first video analysis depends on the individual and his or her particular problems. And most importantly, all this should correlate with any previous signs or symptoms—a prior injury should be completely gone if the process has been successful.Video analysis of gait is too often used to help an athlete run more “efficiently.” Adidas Superstar Donne In this case, the runner’s Nike Roshe Run Dam gait is compared with some textbook or “ideal” style, and the recommendations might include lifting the knees higher, swinging the arms differently, bending forward more, or, as mentioned above, preventing the lower limb from rotating outward too much. Put into practice by the runner under the watchful eye of his or her coach this approach can be counterproductive and can even lead to further dysfunction. I’ve seen too many athletes, even elite runners and professional triathletes, who tried to mimic a so-called “perfect” running gait—one that uses a world class marathoner’s gait as a model—only to get injured more, along with worsening performance. One reason is that the causes of an irregular gait—such as muscle imbalance—are never evaluated and corrected. Instead, the person consciously Nike Air Huarache Womens runs with a Nike Air Max 97 Damen different gait, which can further add stress to an already imbalanced body. Correcting abnormalities must be done first. This will allow the brain to better regulate muscle, joint and other mechanical function to provide the most efficient gait for that particular individual. (Another problem with trying to copy the fluid form of a world-class marathoner is that most people simply can’t run that fast.)Other key factors in video analysis of gait are cost and availability. The equipment in a modern gait laboratory might include a three-dimensional motion analysis camera system, a high-tech treadmill with special force platforms and pressure mats, and video editing software necessary to compile the images. But this type of facility is less available to the average runner, who more often is evaluated with a simple camera Nike Air VaporMax Donne on a basic Adidas Ultra Boost Dámské treadmill, which has its limitations. However, in many cases, a proper gait analysis using modern high-tech equipment with follow up can cost significantly more than visiting the right therapist who may be able to effectively assess and treat the causes of irregular gait without the need for video analysis.Here are some other thoughts if you’re ready to have your gait analyzed. In quantum physics it’s been said that the mere act of observing an atomic particle changes it’s state—in video analysis, when someone, or a group of individuals, is watching you run, you will usually, perhaps subconsciously, change your gait. In addition, running on a treadmill, where you are not moving but instead, the “ground” is, can present a slightly different gait compared to the same pace or intensity when on a track, for example. In Nike Air Max 90 Womens this instance, the Nike Air Max 95 Donne quadriceps muscles work a bit harder than when on a track. This could also slightly alter your gait. Of course, being on a typical road, or trail is most obviously different than a treadmill gait.Like most assessment tools for use on humans, video analysis of gait is not perfect. But the science of observation—a key part of my work with athletes since the 1970s—would not be the same without the large volume of important research that has been performed, often by assessing the running gait. This is not to say there aren’t ways to make the running gait more mechanically and metabolically efficient. Physical strain and wasted energy can come from excessive arm movement, overstriding or other improper movements. But these issues should be addressed after other imbalances are assessed, treated, and re-evaluated, www.tonyrusconi.it and even before this, Nike Air Force 1 Donne finding the proper shoe that best matches your feet. But in many cases, addressing such issues as muscle imbalance and proper footwear can also eliminate many bad habits. |
