Gait analysis is carried out by podiatrists in order to study Human motion, to allow correct examination and diagnosis of foot pain or deformity, and to analyse the potential effects that your particular walking style may have, on your future walking requirements. Jeremy is able to carry out analysis of your working style in the surgery, and incorporates this study into his treatment recommendations.

Correct gait analysis can be vitally important in the following examples:

Children’s Gait

Anatomically and physiologically children are not tiny adults. Bones and still going through development stages that Jeremy is trained to understand, and different anatomical and physiological development stages can have a large influence on foot and lower limb symptoms.

Sports Gait

The requirements of the amateur or professional sports person regarding foot function are extremely important. Without correct gait analysis, a large percentage of patients are exposing themselves to potentially serious injury or chronicity in their foot problems. Jeremy has carried out advanced training in this area, with over 15 years experience with a diverse range of sports patients in the amateur and professional arena.

Diabetes Gait Analysis

Due to the very small blood vessels in the feet, similar pathologies experienced in complications affecting the small blood vessels of the eye and kidney can develop. When human gait problems affecting the feet are taking place in the presence of Diabetes Mellitus, the potential consequences can be limb threatening or life threatening. Jeremy has advanced training in the management of all podiatric medicine disciplines, that relate to Diabetes care relating to gait analysis and diabetes education pertaining to the feet.
