Visiting the lab

On arrival at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, please report to the Tebbit Centre reception.

Please bring a pair of shorts, and any walking aids or orthotics you are using.

The gait analysis procedure involves:
  • taking a history
  • clinical assessment - a clinician will assess your joints and muscles in both of your legs
  • data collection - after sticking reflective markers on both legs, we will ask you to walk up and down the laboratory a number of times.

The whole process may take anywhere between one and three hours.
