Are you dealing with foot, knee or hip pain that just won’t go away? Do your feet feel “off” when you walk, or are you struggling with balance or discomfort while standing for long periods? At InStep of Oakham, our new Gait in Motion technology offers a deeper look into your movement patterns — helping us treat pain at its root.
What Is Gait Analysis?
Gait analysis is the study of how you walk or run — your posture, stride, balance, and foot function. Using our new Gait in Motion technology, we assess how your feet move in real-time using pressure sensors and digital feedback.
This allows us to identify problems such as:
- Overpronation or underpronation (rolling in or out)
- Poor shock absorption
- Muscle imbalance or tightness
- Asymmetrical weight distribution
- Early signs of diabetic foot complications
What Happens at Your Gait in Motion Appointment?
- Initial Consultation & History
We start by discussing your symptoms, lifestyle, footwear and activity levels. Whether it’s a recent injury or ongoing pain, we want to know what’s holding you back. - Foot & Lower Limb Assessment We examine your foot structure, joint flexibility and muscle strength. We also check your footwear and how it may be influencing your gait.
- Digital Gait Scan with Gait in Motion
You’ll walk across or stand on our advanced gait platform. Real-time pressure mapping and movement analysis helps us spot abnormalities and imbalances. The system provides visual feedback and data, which we use to create your personalised plan. - Diagnosis & Treatment Plan Based on your results, we create a custom plan that may include orthotics, exercises, footwear changes, and more. Everything is explained clearly — and we’re here to support your recovery.
