A gait and biomechanical assessment is a detailed evaluation of how your feet and lower limbs function during walking. It helps identify the underlying cause of foot, ankle, knee or hip pain rather than simply treating symptoms.
At Absolute Footcare, we use advanced assessment techniques including Footscan pressure plate analysis to understand how your body moves and where abnormal loading may be occurring.
What Does Treatment Involve
During the assessment, we carry out a thorough evaluation of your foot and lower limb function. This may include:
Assessment of foot posture and alignment
Analysis of walking mechanics and gait pattern
Joint mobility and flexibility testing
Muscle strength and movement assessment
Review of footwear and activity levels
We also use a Footscan pressure plate system to analyse how pressure is distributed across your feet during walking
Problems Treated
Heel pain and plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendinopathy
Metatarsalgia and Morton’s neuroma
Flat feet and overpronation
Big toe joint pain
Ankle, knee and hip pain
What Happens After Treatment
Following your assessment, we will explain our findings clearly and discuss the most appropriate treatment options.
