4D Motion Scan | PORCH HOUSE CLINIC

Unlike simple gait/foot pressure systems designed primarily for sports shoe and custom orthotic purposes (heavily prescribed, rarely needed), our 'registered medical device' sits within another league altogether. Detailed movement analysis with highly accurate spinal vertebrae detail (comparable to MRI and X-Ray), and the added benefit of no radiation, is held in high esteem by renowned practitioners around the globe for reliability and accuracy. It is currently being used in research projects concerned with improving knee replacement outcomes, improving outcomes for scoliosis patients, monitoring spinal changes in young people who lead sedentary lifestyles, integrating postural training within professional sport, monitoring the effect of dental work and orthotics on the MSK system as a whole, to name just a few.

But, in everyday MSK healthcare, it is transformative.

Advanced diagnostics can now provide us with objective, scientific data, which alongside our clinical knowledge, gives us the best opportunity to get to the root of a musculoskeletal problem.

Your unique anatomy and habitual movement patterns can predispose you to certain soft tissue and bone-on-bone injuries. By looking at the whole, interconnected picture in such detail, off the treatment couch, upright, in a weight-bearing position, we can gather detailed information about your spine, pelvis, legs and feet, enabling us to guide you knowledgeably to the most effective course of action.
