You will instantly know at which part of the gait cycle there are issues to address. This leads to a quicker diagnosis. More info to follow shortly.

ETB are proud to announce they are official sponsors of London Bronco’s.
Following on from the testing of the London Bronco’s and the Longmead Day Centre, a total of 32 gait tests where carried out. The reports were issued also issued on the day detailing the complete gait cycle. on the day. I don’t believe any other gait product can do this. Go over to www.gaitsmart.com for sports and www.gaitage.com to see what these products do.
A busy day today, after screening the London Bronco’s we went to the balance class at the Longmead day centre to continue our longitudinal study for the prevention of falls in the elderly. The balance class lasts for one hour and 10 people where measured. Reports were given to Stella, who can now alter the exercises for the next class. Some of the gaits had become worse, so now they can be attended to early, rather than let it get worse.
The senior team where at the gym. We used two of the gaitSMART systems and completely screened the almost the complete squad without interfering with their 2 hour training schedule. 22 players were screened in less than one and a half hours. The reports have gone to John Mills the head physio. John now has a complete picture of the status of all his players. From the report John has highlighted a number of players for further monitoring during their training sessions to ensure their rehab and training is going according to plan.
