Visiting the lab

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

They need to bring a pair of shorts, and any walking aids or orthotics they are using.

The gait analysis procedure involves:

taking the history
clinical assessment - a clinician will assess the joints and muscles in both legs
data collection - after sticking reflective markers on both legs, the patient will be asked to walk up and down the laboratory a number of times.

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