You can tell a lot about how you run based on the wear patterns of your favorite or most commonly used running shoes, or by doing what is called a wet footprint test. These visual tests will only tell you about the structure of your feet and are not a replacement for a true gait analysis. People who are looking to have their gait analyzed should do so through a trained professional such as a physical therapist or podiatrist who knows what to look for. Gait analysis looks not just at the feet but at the whole biomechanical chain involved in running, from the waist down through to the feet. A trained specialist will be best suited to guide you through the exercise, as well as capture the video from the necessary angles. They also know what to look for in the video to provide proper analysis and build a treatment plan for you.
