technology<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital gait analysis uses video, sensors or computer-based measurement tools to examine how you walk and how different parts of the body move together.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can provide additional information about step pattern, balance, symmetry, joint movement and weight transfer that may be difficult to identify through observation alone.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital gait analysis may be useful for people recovering from injury or surgery, those experiencing persistent walking difficulties, and people with neurological, orthopaedic or balance-related conditions.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aim is not to make everyone walk in exactly the same

particular foot position does not automatically need correcting unless it is contributing to symptoms or reduced function.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Understanding the walking cycle<\/b><\/h2><p><span
