In my French institute, the charge for a gait analysis is between 600
- 700 €.
Hi - yes we do gait analysis in the private sector. Some for podiatrists
but mainly for sports
professionals with podiatric or gait anomalies etc
We generally charge around £120 - but this can go up depending
on the complexity of what they
require. It is normally included into a whole battery of tests, and
the data written up in the form of a
report. We do approximately 2 per month. It usually includes kinematics,
force plate, Musgrave
pressure plate data and physical/clinical examination. We rarely use
e.m.g but have the facility if
requested.
We have seen a few patients with chronic conditions more related to
MVA and not workman's comp.
Our charge for a full analysis runs ~$1300.
I use F-scan ( www.Tekscan.com ) in shoe pressure data and a
2D motion system for static angle measurement. I take data barefoot,
and in a shoe w/ no orthotic
initially. I will then modify a pair of temporary orthotics over
4-7 tests w/ the f-scan and 2D video, until
I have made the foot function as symmetrical as I can. This take
2.5-3 hours as well, and I interpret
each test and direct the next modification. Finally , I will
take a plaster cast impression for construction
of a custom foot orthosis for the patient w/ the final test modifications.
I get great results in treating
chronic low back pain, and othre postural symptoms. I also work
w/ professional athletes, and local
high school and college athletes. Pain and athletics are what
drive this part of my practice. I've been
doing this for about 2 years. My current charges to insurance
for the tests, avg 3 hours, and the temp
and permanent orthotics are $2200. Keep in mind these are my
charges. We have been gettng
reimbursement around $1200-$1500.
