Often changes in gait are related to underlying medical conditions including inner ear disorders, nervous system disorders, muscle diseases and musculoskeletal abnormalities. Diagnostic tools for physical therapists to identify the root cause of gait dysfunction may include observation, gait speed measurements, balance tests, strength and range of motion measurements and reflex and sensation screenings.
Gait training identifies and treats the root cause of gait dysfunction. By identifying the root cause, your physical therapist can create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals and get you back to moving freely without long term gait abnormalities and further dysfunction.
“I love coming to Physical Therapy of the Rockies! It’s like coming to see my friends (who get paid to hang out with me, and help me heal). Not only did I recover from my injury with their help, I am now a better runner! I am a Physical Therapy of the Rockies patient for life.”
