What We Offer - Computerized Gait Analysis

TekScan Fscan Computerized Gait Analysis

At the office of Karen A. Langone DPM, sports medicine podiatrist in Southampton, New York, the Tekscan Fscan computerized gait analysis system is used as an integral component of our diagnostic approach.

The system uses computerized sensors, which are placed in the patient's shoes. The patient then walks or runs, and a "movie" is generated that shows every nuance of the foot function of the individual.

The movie is then analyzed, allowing us to see how the foot and the body actually move. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional displays, pressure and force curves over time, force and time integrals, frame-by-frame displays of both feet at up to 500 scans per second at a rate of 960,000 sensing elements per second, single and multi-stance phase displays, center of force and its trajectory, and multi-stance averaging are all evaluated to allow more sophisticated assessment of the mechanics of the patient.

Dr. Langone is one of a handful of podiatrists in New York to utilize this state-of -the art approach.

Pressure Measurement System

Force vs. Time

If you are suffering with foot, ankle, leg or back pain, or have difficulty walking, Dr. Langone can help. Through medical and biomechanical treatment of the foot, ankle and lower extremities, you don’t have to suffer with foot pain any longer. Dr. Langone can help you enjoy a fuller, more pain free life.
