3D Gait Analysis

Biomechanics is the study and analysis of gait and human movement. Here at Active Feet we observe patients for any alterations in the optimum sequence of events between the foot, the lower limb, and the rest of the body during the walking (running, cycling, skiing etc) phase. Deviations from the optimum, can lead to heel pain, foot strain, ankle, knee, hip, lower back and neck pain.

During your assessment we use the latest technology to collect data and provide the most detailed biomechanical analysis available within minutes and assists in involving you in your assessment.

With the help of orthotic devices, we can help you to walk, run and Live the Life you Love without pain. Suitably qualified professionals like us are best placed to advise you on these issues, and because we are not a ‘retailer’ the patient is always our first priority. We only offer advice based on a clinical need, not a sales target.

If you plan on attending for a biomechanical examination please remember to bring;

• Your favourite/everyday shoes
• Your clean running/sports shoes. If you decide to run barefoot please bring socks for running in.  
• Any previous/old orthoses
• A pair of shorts or leggings

At the end of your assessment a full written report will be made available to you, which will include all findings and may include copies  of images taken as part of the assessment.

After your Foot pain and injury assessment or 3D gait analysis your podiatrist may suggest that you would benefit from wearing an orthotic.

Orthotics are prescription insoles which stabilise the foot holding it in the ideal position. Re-positioning the foot alters the angles at which the foot strikes the surface. Wearing orthotics can improve corns and calluses, ankle sprains and knee, hip and back pain.

At Active Feet we work with numerous manufacturers that will supply custom orthotics to ensure that you have exactly what you need to get you back to Living the Life You Love.

At Active Feet we treat a number of sports injuries with various therapies including – biomechanical assessments, orthotic prescriptions, muscle stretching exercises, strapping, Shockwave, Cryoultrasound and Laser.

You can book by telephone 0131 629 2029/01620 825570 or online via the Book a consultation button on our website and also via our Facebook page.

As a new patient your first appointment will take approximately 45 minutes.  This allows us to do a full assessment and establish your individual foot care needs.

Going forward, a standard routine appointment lasts up to 30 minutes, depending on what your specific requirements are, this will vary.
