Gait analyses are usually carried out by physiotherapists, orthopaedists, neurologists, sports scientists or specialized professionals. They are aimed at people with different needs and health conditions, including

• People with injuries: Gait assessments can help to understand the impact of injuries on gait patterns and develop appropriate rehabilitation interventions.
• People with neurological disorders: People with neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis can benefit from gait analysis to identify problems in gait patterns and receive appropriate therapies.
• Athletes: Athletes can use gait analysis to improve their running technique and minimize the risk of injury.
• People with orthopaedic problems: Individuals with foot, knee or hip problems can benefit from gait analysis to identify imbalances or misalignments and take appropriate action to correct them.
• Older people: A gait analysis can help older people to reduce the risk of falls and maintain their mobility and independence.

Overall, a gait analysis is aimed at people of all ages and physical conditions who want to improve their gait pattern or who have health problems that affect their walking.
