Gait Analysis Treatment in Adelaide
At Keep Me Walking Podiatry, we offer comprehensive gait analysis to help our patients identify and address any issues that may be affecting their foot and ankle health.
KMW Podiatry Gait Analysis
Gait analysis is a process of evaluating the way a person walks, or their gait. It involves analysing the movements of the feet, legs, and body during walking, as well as the forces and pressures that are applied to the feet. Gait analysis can help identify any abnormalities or issues that may be causing pain or discomfort when walking, and can help determine the most appropriate treatment.
A biomechanical assessment looks at how your feet, ankles, knees and hips move when you stand, walk and, where suitable, run. Your podiatrist uses what they find, together with your symptoms and activities, to explain the options that may suit you. We also offer a range of treatment options, including dry needling, custom orthotics, vascular assessment, stretches and exercises, and, in some cases, referral for surgery, depending on what the assessment finds.

FAQ's For Podiatry Services
What is gait analysis?
Gait analysis is a process of evaluating the way a person walks, or their gait. It involves analysing the movements of the feet, legs, and body during walking, as well as the forces and pressures that are applied to the feet. Gait analysis can help identify any abnormalities or issues that may be causing pain or discomfort when walking, and can help determine the most appropriate treatment.
How is gait analysis performed?
We look at how you walk and stand. Your podiatrist asks about your symptoms, health history and activities, checks how your feet and legs are aligned when you stand, along with joint movement and muscle strength, watches you walk (and run, if relevant) and checks your shoes for wear, fit and support.
