UCHealth Foot and Ankle Center - Central Park

This clinic is a comprehensive practice focused on patients with foot and ankle needs. Whether it’s for treatment of a tendon injury, total ankle replacement, a toenail problem, or a host of injuries and conditions, patients receive individualized care from a highly-trained, expert team.

The clinic includes a 1,000-square-foot facility called the Clinical Motion Analysis Laboratory. Here, our team of movement specialists sees a wide range of conditions that cause difficulty in walking or movement and perform full gait analysis, athletic performance analysis, and host movement clinics.

The Clinical Motion Analysis Laboratory is a state-of-the-art laboratory that offers a highly precise means to understand how you move. A multidisciplinary team of movement specialists with backgrounds in medicine, physical therapy, biomedical engineering, and orthotics/podiatry is equipped to help patients get back to life and sport as soon as possible.

This laboratory uses the following state-of-the-art equipment to understand how you are moving:

• Motion capture cameras to record how you move in 3D (same technology used in movies and video games)
• Surface electrodes placed on the skin to record when your muscles turn on/off
• Force platforms to measure the forces, moments, and powers produced at your hip, knee, and ankle
• 4 meter Plantar Pressure mat to capture how your foot interacts with the ground
• High-definition video cameras for observational gait analysis
