Referrals for Movement Analysis

Referrals of patients for movement analysis will be accepted from medical practitioners, physiotherapists, prosthetists, orthotists and other health practitioners at Austin Health and other health services in the north-eastern region of Melbourne.

The service is not subsidised and a fee will be charged for all patients.

Referring health practitioners will be required to complete an application form, briefly detailing the patient's history and the presenting problem, and to send a videotape of the patient's walking/movement pattern.

All referrals will be reviewed by the staff involved with the movement analysis service and a decision made as to whether, and what type of, analysis is appropriate in each case. If so, an appointment will be made for the patient to attend the Laboratory. The referring practitioner will be invited to participate in a reporting meeting where the data will be discussed, interpreted, and recommendations made. A full report, including all analyses, will be provided on CD and paper to the referring practitioner.
