Foot pressure assessment

Foot Pressure Assessment is a specialised diagnostic service that evaluates plantar pressure distribution using advanced pressure-mapping technology. This assessment provides precise insight into how weight is distributed across the feet during standing and walking, helping to identify biomechanical imbalances that may contribute to pain, injury, or chronic foot conditions.

Even subtle abnormalities in pressure distribution can lead to foot pain, knee, hip, or lower-back problems, as well as corns, calluses, ulcers, and recurrent injuries. Foot Pressure Assessment allows clinicians to detect these issues early and address them at the source.

Our Assessment Process

1. Medical History & Initial Screening

• - Review of foot pain, discomfort, or musculoskeletal symptoms

• - Evaluation of lifestyle, occupation, and daily activity levels

• - Assessment of current footwear

2. Plantar Pressure Analysis

• - Measurement of foot pressure using specialised pressure-mapping systems

• - Identification of high-pressure zones and abnormal load patterns

• - Comparison between left and right feet, and forefoot, midfoot, and heel regions

3. Posture & Gait Evaluation

• - Analysis of standing posture and walking mechanics

• - Assessment of foot, ankle, and lower-limb alignment

• - Identification of biomechanical conditions such as flat feet or high arches

4. Results Interpretation & Personalised Advice

• - Clear explanation of assessment findings

• - Personalised recommendations for foot care, footwear, and activity modification

• - Use of data to support the design of Customised Total Contact Orthotics or further treatment plans
