Gait and Foot Analysis

  • FCE Scans Gait and Foot analysis is the Gold standard of assessment whilst standing, walking and running.

We offer analysis that is accurate, professional, unrivalled and competitive on price. It is performed using our state of the art system.

  • Our system is a registered medical device (the majority of gait analysis systems are not, you should always check this for reliability of results).
  • Static and Motion analysis of Gait and Foot function in 2D, 3D or 4D.
  • Static = Recorded over 30 seconds to take into account movement due to breathing; Weightbearing, Foot pressure analysis, COP, Sway Patterns and Balance.

  • Motion = Recorded as you move to include: Roll Motion, Stance phases, All Gait cycle parameters, All Contact parameters, All Step Parameters, Cadence, Swing phases, Stride length, Foot pressure analysis and COP in  Motion.

  • Leg axis geometry.
  • Video gait analysis.
  • Pressure sensitive platform recording movements through the foot.
  • Professional analysis can be provided whilst standing, walking and running.
  • Option of 3D printed Orthotics – a new innovative product where the orthotic is fabricate precisely from the scan results.
  • Comparative analysis using different footwear for accurate running solutions (the Sports Performance Scan is required for this).
  • Add on analysis of Spinal and Pelvic bio-mechanics to show the influence of Spinal/Pelvic movement on Gait and vice versa.

Foot Analysis

Gait and foot analysis provides information that is beneficial for practitioners and their clients. Weight distribution, centre of pressure tracking, foot rotation, sway area and balance are especially relevant when assessing a client. Successful comparisons are made from the bilateral information provided which aids with clinical assessment. The analysis is conducted statically and dynamically which is beneficial in both a clinical and performance setting. The cause of many conditions related to the feet and lower limbs can be identified. These include such conditions as plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammer toe, shin splints, achilles pain and ankle pain.

The Importance of Gait Analysis

People move around each day with abnormal gait patterns but they don’t experience any negative symptoms. As a result, the body is constantly under increased and unwanted stress which in turn can cause injury. On the other hand, from a performance point of view, an athlete may struggle to improve if their body can’t be used efficiently. Abnormalities can be identified by our Leg, Gait and Foot analysis and as a result can be corrected. Gait analysis provides information on gait cycle phases, force and its distribution. Specific foot area contacts are also recorded along with step and stride length, ground contact times, track width, foot rotation and cadence. Specific joint angles are also analysed to determine varus/valgus and inversion/eversion. Information collated is used to accurately diagnose and treat gait issues.

Client Reviews

My Mam went with an ongoing issue with her left foot. He was able to tell her straight away after looking at it. He spent a lot of time going through everything with us he was amazing. Suffering with my back with years and will hopefully in the next few weeks go and get a full body scan.

Amy

Highly recommended. Especially for dancers or athletes. After the posture and gait analysis, my knee injury has massively improved.
