Lower Limb Biomechanical Assessment & Orthotic Prescription
In Oranmore, Physio4U Chartered Physiotherapists offers a unique and specialized service in the assessment of lower limb biomechanics. This is particularly important for individuals who may be experiencing pain/stiffness/discomfort in the following areas:
- Hips
- Knees
- Ankles and Feet
Sometimes low back pain can occur if the mechanics of the lower limbs are not working in the most optimal way.
Often an imbalance in the biomechanics of the lower limb will become more obvious and may result in pain and discomfort when an individual either takes up a new sport, returns to an existing hobby/sport but at a more competitive or intensive level. Biomechanical difficulties can also occur with a change in working environments, birth defects to the foot/ankle etc
What can be done if my biomechanics are altered?
Our chartered Physiotherapists are experienced in the prescription and fitting of orthotics.
What are orthotics?
These are custom made devices that support your foot and lower limb into a better mechanical position while wearing shoes/trainers etc
What do they look like?
(will get a photo)
How much do they cost? see additional information for price list
How long will they last?
Will they fit into my football boots?
Will that sort my problem? Normally during the course of your biomechanical assessment any muscle weakness, restrictions etc will be highlighted to you by your chartered physiotherapist. A home exercise programme will be prescribed for you which will need to be done in conjunction to wearing your orthotics
