Each orthosis is a carefully crafted and functional work of art.
Video Gait Analysis has been a key aspect of Footco Orthopedic’s reputation. Tim Porcelli pioneered the clinical application of video gait analysis in 1984 as a standard diagnostic tool to study neuro-muscular disorders. It has evolved to include slow motion studies of athletes and patients who require more than a cursory evaluation. Gait analysis is used in cases where the source of a patient’s symptoms requires a more in-depth assessment.
