GAIT ANALYSIS
Clinical analysis of walking and running movement patterns
Gait analysis evaluates your walking and running technique to identify pressure shifts, asymmetric loading, and mechanical inefficiencies that contribute to foot and leg pain
ABOUT THE SERVICE
What is gait analysis?
Gait analysis observes the sequence of movements from heel contact, stance phase, toe-off, to swing phase as you walk or run.
Using visual observation and motion technology, your podiatrist evaluates foot pronation, supination, stride cadence, and pelvic control.
This helps pinpoint subtle gait abnormalities that cause recurrent muscle strain or joint irritation.

WHEN IT MAY HELP
When might gait analysis be recommended?
Gait analysis is particularly beneficial for:
- Pain that appears or worsens specifically during walking or running
- Recurrent shin splints or lower-leg tightness
- Asymmetric shoe wear (one shoe wearing out much faster)
- Post-rehabilitation gait retraining after an injury
Reveals exact dynamic loading patterns.
Helps tailor orthotics and footwear choice to your actual movement.
