What is a Gait Assessment?

A Gait Assessment is a detailed analysis of how you walk or run. It helps identify abnormalities, imbalances, or compensations that may lead to pain or increase your risk of injury.

Gait assessments can help with:

  • Post-surgical recovery
  • (hip, knee, foot)
  • Shoulder and Arm Injuries
  • Sports injury rehabilitation
  • Fall risk management
  • Chronic pain or balance issues

What is a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)?

An FCE is a comprehensive physical assessment designed to measure your ability to perform work-related tasks. It’s especially important after a workplace injury, before returning to physically demanding roles, or when documenting physical limitations for insurance or legal purposes.

  • Strength and endurance
  • Lifting, carrying, and pushing capacity
  • Flexibility and range of motion
  • Balance and coordination
  • Task-specific functional tolerances
  • Pain behavior and effort levels

Our trained physiotherapists follow standardized protocols to ensure accurate, objective, and defensible reports.
