The Hugh Williamson Gait Analysis Laboratory is a world leader in the analysis of walking disorders in children. Using state of the art equipment our highly specialist staff are able to determine why children walk the way they do. Knowing this it is then possible to plan treatment individually for each child.

"Gait Analysis  gives  information about exactly how people walk. If people have difficulty walking, then this information can be used to plan various types of treatment aimed at improving their walking ability. If this is achieved then other abilities, such as standing or running, may also be improved. A gait analysis, is  therefore only useful if it helps in planning treatment for the patient."
