Gait Analysis & Footscan Pressure Analysis

At Soleus Podiatry, we believe in evidence-based care and the power of advanced data-driven diagnostics to enhance patient outcomes. We use Video Gait Analysis and Footscan Pressure Analysis to gain objective data which allows us to understand how you move, identify potential imbalances, highlight high pressure areas and develop personalized treatment plans to enhance performance, prevent injuries, and relieve pain.

Footscan pressure analysis is a state-of-the-art system that measures pressure distribution across your feet as you stand, walk, or run. Using 8000 high-resolution pressure sensors, this non-invasive assessment provides a comprehensive and accurate insight into:

• Pressure hotspots and ulceration risk areas
• Identification of injury risk areas
• Asymmetries in gait
• Balance and stability, unilateral weaknesses
• Centre of pressure changes in a key movement eg squatting.

The Footscan system removes subjectivity from assessment and presents us with hard data. This means that we can accurately diagnose the underlying mechanical issues causing your pain and create the orthotic prescription, issue footwear guidance and tailor your treatment plan in the best way to get maximum results.

It is also a valuable tool in the reduction of high pressure areas that lead to diabetic ulceration, and in the prevention of falls.
