What Will Happen During Your First Gait Assessment Appointment
At your first Gait assessment appointment, you will also receive:
  • First visit will consist of an Initial Consultation: Discussion of current symptoms, past medical history, physical activity and general goals of the future.
  • Full Assessment: An extensive assessment will be completed, including observation of your gait, testing of the range of motion in your joints, testing of the strength of your muscles and an analysis of your balance, and – as appropriate – pressure mapping.
  • Clear Diagnosis: We will explain what has been diagnosed with your feet or lower limbs, the cause of the diagnosis, and describe how the issue affects your overall mobility.
  • Immediate Guidance: Depending on the findings of the assessment, we may be able to begin treatment immediately, provide you with exercise, footwear or orthotic recommendations.
We want to help you better understand the issues you have with your foot/feet and lower-limb movement, relieve those issues, and develop and implement strategies that will allow you to achieve better movement and help prevent future problems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I require a referral to perform a gait assessment?
Your GP or any other health provider does not necessarily need to refer you. You can book a gait assessment on your own accord. If you would like us to liaise with your GP or healthcare provider, we can certainly accommodate this.
Approximately how long does a gait assessment take?
Most gait assessments take about 45 minutes to 1 hour, with time accounted for consultation, observation and interpretation of results.
Can gait analysis provide relief from my knee and/or hip pain?
Yes. Many issues with your knees, hips or lower back can stem from improper mechanics of your feet and lower legs. Gait analysis can help us identify and correct the cause(s) of your pain.
Is gait analysis painful?
No, it is an observational and diagnostic process that does not use any force or cause discomfort.
After my gait assessment, will I need to wear orthotics?
Maybe. Orthotics are only prescribed when the gait assessment indicates that the use of orthotics will enhance your ability to move and be comfortable while moving. In some instances, the assessment results indicate that patients can achieve the same benefits through other forms of therapy, such as physical exercise, appropriate footwear, or stretching alone.
