Gait Analysis- Our specialty
Fast Trax offers our customers a free gait analysis. The Gait analysis process: A gait analysis helps determine the best shoe for your unique foot and stride. Ideally, when we watch you run, your arches should remain in a neutral position throughout the gait cycle. In other words, to much inward or outward rotation of your feet and ankles is a bad thing. Neutral, or straight (no inward or outward rotation) is good. Our fitting process begins with watching you running or walking on a treadmill to see what specifically your foot is doing with each stride. Many runners and walkers overpronate, which occurs when your arch is allowed to collapse excessively, allowing too much inward rotation. This puts pressure on your knees, hips, shins, etc, and causes many common running injuries. Fortunately, it is fairly easy to solve with a supportive pair of shoes.
