Biomechanical Assessment & Gait Analysis (pressure‑mat/plate) — £90

Appointment length: 30 minutes

Assessment method: Pressure‑plate gait analysis (GaitScan) + clinical examination

This is a focused appointment to assess foot function and walking mechanics. We combine a clinical biomechanical assessment with a computerised pressure‑plate gait scan to measure how pressure loads through the feet and the timing of your gait during walking.

Suitable for

• Ongoing or recurring foot discomfort

• Pressure‑related problems (e.g., recurring hard skin/callus/corns)

• Heel, arch or forefoot symptoms where foot loading may be contributing

• Lower‑limb symptoms where gait mechanics may be relevant

• 
  

What happens in the appointment (30 minutes)

• History and symptom review (what you feel, when it occurs, footwear/activity factors, relevant medical background)

• Clinical biomechanical assessment (relevant movement, foot posture/function checks)

• Pressure‑plate gait analysis (GaitScan): you walk across the pressure plate so the system can record plantar pressure distribution and timing sequences and produce an objective report for review.

• Findings and plan: results are explained on the day, with practical next steps.

• 
  

What you receive

• Explanation of key findings (including any notable high‑pressure areas and loading patterns seen on the scan)

• A management plan, which may include:

  • Footwear guidance

  • Pressure/off‑loading strategies

  • Self‑management and exercise advice where appropriate

  • Discussion of orthoses options if they are relevant to your findings
