Gait Analysis

A clinical assessment of a patient's walking and running patterns to identify biomechanical abnormalities that may contribute to foot, ankle, knee, hip, or back pain. Gait analysis uses observation, video recording, or computerized pressure mapping to evaluate movement. Gait analysis is a valuable diagnostic tool in podiatric medicine that helps identify issues such as overpronation, supination, leg length discrepancies, and compensatory movement patterns that place excessive stress on joints and soft tissues. During the assessment, the podiatrist observes the patient walking and running, paying attention to foot strike patterns, stride length, hip and knee alignment, and overall body mechanics.
