Advanced Foot Care

Advanced Foot Care

Advanced Foot Care is a Podiatry and footwear clinic established to enable patients not only to get the best treatment but also obtain expert advice on footwear and footwear fittings. Since opening its doors in early 2008 Advanced Foot Care has helped thousands of people using advanced computer gait (walking analysis) and postural analysis equipment.

The clinics have pressure gait analysis and video gait analysis platforms that are almost 4 meters in length. These platforms consist of thousands of pressure sensors that can measure high pressure areas on the foot particularly useful in diagnosing fore foot pain or pain under the ball of the foot. These pressure scans are also useful in assessing how the foot is being used functionally while walking.

These platforms are also intergrated with video gait analysis which measures and calculates differences in leg length, along with joint angles, to gain a thorough understanding of how the patient is walking and how the body is responding through postural compensations. Both the pressure analysis and video analysis can be captured simultaneously so they can be analysed together in real time. ...read more
