Biomechanics

Bike Fitting

If your bicycle is not properly fitted to your body, you may experience serious discomfort including things such as bottom numbness, burning feet, stabbing knee or back pain, sore hands, achy shoulders, or a stiff neck. We highly recommend that you take the time to have your bicycle fit to you by an expert. When done properly, you may spare yourself from excruciating pain and permanent injury. Bring your bicycle in and Dr. McGrath will ensure your bike is optimally fit by focusing on:

Seat Angle
Seat Height
Pedal/Shoe Adjustments
Seat Fore/Aft Position
Reach to Handlebars
Handlebar Height


Gait Analysis

Gait analysis (the study of human walking and running) is performed by qualified experts to identify problems with body movement, body mechanics, and muscle activity. The analysis is used to diagnose and treat individuals with conditions that affect their ability to walk or run. Gait analysis is especially helpful in optimizing athletic performance, speeding recovery from injury, and correcting chronic health issues such as:

Overpronation
Oversupination
Increased Q angle
Hip hiking (or hitching)
Ankle equinus
Pelvic tilt

If you suffer from certain overuse injuries that are associated with poor biomechanics, you may benefit from gait analysis. Such injuries include:

Shin splints
Plantar fasciitis
Runners knee
Jumpers knee
Patello-femoral knee pain
Achilles tendonitis
Lower back pain
