Biomechanical Assessment and Gait Analysis
Biomechanical Examination – Foot structure and lower limb biomechanics are thoroughly examined during both static and dynamic non-weight-bearing and weight-bearing evaluation.
• Non-weight-bearing – determination of foot type; observation of pathologies, deformities, and abnormalities in appearance, structure, joint range of motion (hyper/hypomobility, restrictions/fixations, instability), muscle imbalances (hyper/hypoflexibility, weakness, tone), soft tissue anomalies (hyper/hypomobility, restrictions, adhesions), neurological (deficits/inhibitions/hyperactivity both sensory and motor), and vascularity (circulation deficits/swelling, edema).
• Weight-bearing – observation of foot position, lower limb alignment, symmetry and position of pelvis, overall posture, functional strength, range of motion, and balance testing during single and double stance.
• Functional testing – further examination and testing is tailored to the specific medical condition and presentation of symptoms to more accurately identify the nature of the problem.
Gait Analysis – observation of an individual while walking to identify unusual patterns or function resulting from abnormal lower limb or foot structure identified during examination. Each phase of the gait cycle is analyzed for irregularities and asymmetries of left to right:
• Heel Strike – referring to initial heel contact;
• Midstance – referring to full foot contact;
• Propulsion – referring to push-off; and
• Swing – referring to follow-through.
Evaluation – All of the information above must be considered to determine: (a) whether foot structure or alignment is playing a role in the presenting medical condition; and (b) whether a foot orthosis, footwear, and/or footwear modification is the appropriate method of treatment.

En quoi ça consiste
Most of this first podiatry visit is spent figuring out why your feet or lower legs are bothering you — history, walking and standing assessment, footwear check, and hands-on examination of joints, skin and nails — then you leave with a clear explanation and next-step plan.
