Advanced Gait & Pressure Assessment for Precision Care
Our FOOTSCAN Dynamic Pressure Plate Analysis system uses a high-resolution pressure plate embedded with thousands of sensors to capture precise information about how your feet interact with the ground.
What Does It Measure?
The FOOTSCAN system records and analyzes:
- Pressure distribution across the heel, midfoot, forefoot and toes.
- Timing and sequence of foot contact
- Gait symmetry and balance
- Peak pressure points and areas of overload
- Foot positioning and alignment
- Step length, stride, and walking dynamics
Why Is It Important?
Abnormal foot mechanics can contribute to a wide range of issues, including:
- Heel pain (e.g., plantar fasciitis)
- Forefoot pain
- Knee, hip, or lower back pain
- Sports injuries
- Diabetic foot complications
- Postural imbalances
FOOTSCAN allows our clinicians to identify problems early, often before symptoms become severe.
Key Benefits
- Accurate Diagnosis: Objective data replaces guesswork
- Personalised Treatment Plans: Tailored to your specific gait and pressure profile
- Injury Prevention: Detects risk factors before injury occurs
- Performance Enhancement: Ideal for athletes looking to optimise movement
What to Expect During the Assessment
The process is quick, non-invasive, and comfortable:
- You walk barefoot across the pressure plate
- The system captures real-time data
- A detailed visual and numerical report is generated
- A clinician explains the findings and recommends next steps
- Based on the results, we can recommend bespoke treatments, including custom 3D-printed foot orthoses designed specifically for your feet. The foot orthoses improve foot support, improve gait issues, and redistribute pressure to reduce pain and prevent injury.
Who Can Benefit?
FOOTSCAN analysis is suitable for:
- Individuals with foot, ankle, knee, or back pain
- Athletes seeking performance insights
- Patients with diabetes or circulation concerns
- Children with gait abnormalities
- Anyone interested in improving posture and movement and improving comfort when walking.
