Gait Analysis - computer aided biomechanical assessment

Computerised analysis of the way your feet move




The Gait Scan is helpful if you suffer from:
  • Foot Pain
  • Arch Pain
  • Ankle Pain
  • Knee Pain
  • Hip Pain
  • Back Pain
  • Neck Pain
The Gait Analysis can detect unusual foot function which may be affecting the rest of your body.

 

 

Gait analysis - to diagnose your foot problems


Gait analysis is used to discover abnormal movements, which can produce high levels of stress in joints and muscles resulting in injury. Orthotics (foot supports) are able to minimize these abnormal movements and associated stresses.

Gait analysis consultation

Using our computerised high-tech “RScan System” we are be able to provide a solution to your pain. By testing your foot pressure when walking we can provide accurate solutions to help alleviate your problems producing customised orthotics (foot supports) specifically for your feet. Cost price for Gait Analysis is £45 plus VAT.

Computerised analysis of your foot problems


Gait analysis is a computerised scan which is performed with the help of a 0.5 metre rigid electronic pressure plate that gets placed on the floor and is used to gather information as you walk across it. Contact us now for more information.

Foot pressure and force distribution


The plate consists of thousands of pressure sensors that 'take pictures' at a rate of more than 300 images per second and so determine the pressure and force distribution on the surface of the foot.

 

A picture of how your feet work together


Once this information has been saved into the computer we can look at various aspects of your gait in 2D, 3D and in synchronisation to get a bigger overall picture of how your feet work together when walking.

Contact us now for a free consultation


This information is often very useful in correlation with a consultation to determine what kind of support is needed in the making of specialised orthotics or shoes. Your orthotics can be tested by walking over the plates with the orthotics inside your shoes to verify the correction in your movement.

The human eye is unable to detect most gait imbalances. The Gait Analysis enables us to cross-reference findings with both static and mobile analysis.
