Arranging a Gait Assessment in Mississauga

Apex Performance & Health · AI-assisted educational information. Clinician review is not recorded.

A gait assessment should begin with a clear question about walking or running. Describe the concern, goal and advice you already have. The term gait analysis does not specify a single test, piece of equipment or treatment package.

Confirm what is actually offered

Ask the clinic which practitioner would assess you, what the appointment covers and whether it fits the advice or referral you received. Do not assume that every appointment includes video recording, treadmill testing, footwear recommendations or a particular report.

• Which question will this assessment address?
• What information should I bring?
• Will any recording be made, and how will it be used?
• How will findings and uncertainty be explained?
• What is the current fee?

Understand the interpretation

The Ontario physiotherapy assessment guide describes measures in relation to their intended purpose and interpretation. A visible difference or a score should not automatically become a diagnosis, an injury prediction or an instruction to change how you walk.

Ask how the finding relates to your history and current concern. If a proposed change is unclear, request an explanation of its purpose, risks and review plan before trying it.
