Gait Analysis

The way you walk influences how forces are distributed throughout your feet, ankles, knees, hips and lower back. Even subtle changes in walking pattern can contribute to pain and injury over time.

A gait analysis provides valuable information about how your body moves during everyday activities.

What happens during gait analysis?

We observe and assess the way you walk, examining foot position, joint movement and overall lower limb function. This information is combined with your clinical assessment to identify any abnormal movement patterns contributing to your symptoms.

The assessment is entirely painless and forms an important part of diagnosing many foot conditions.

Improving movement

The findings from your gait analysis help guide treatment, which may include exercises, footwear advice or bespoke orthotics to improve efficiency, reduce pain and optimise the way your feet function.
