What to know before your Gait Analysis appointment
Patient Information
Before you attend
We will contact you with some screening questions and to ensure the necessary paperwork has been completed.
What to expect
Your initial gait analysis will be 2 intensive hours. We will establish your problems, goals and conduct a physical assessment as well as a brief gait assessment.
The next steps will depend on the clinician's decision making but will most likely entail a series of formal gait analyses and testing of appropriate assistive technology.
What to bring
Patients will need to bring the following:
◉ All NDIS paperwork and relevant medical reports.
◉ Shoes appropriate for walking and physical activity (lace up runners are ideal)
◉ The shoes which you wear most regularly
◉ Shorts and clothing suitable for physical activity
Funding and NDIS
We see private, compensable and NDIS funded patients.
The gait clinic will run for 2 hours with two clinicians. This will require 4 hours of funding in your NDIS plan.
The report writing and data analysis will require 2 hours of funding.
For referrers
