Gait is the way in which we move our whole body from one point to another. Most often, this is done by walking or running. Gait Analysis is a method used to assess the way we walk or run to highlight abnormalities if in any, in our gait.

The process involves walking or running on a treadmill with a video recorder recording a film of the gait cycle. This footage is then relayed to a laptop where special software carefully assesses the running or walking style. This analysis style is then used as a basis for selecting the right kind of footwear to use while training or running thereby avoiding injuries.
