Video Gait Analysis
Slow-motion video of your walk that reveals the movement faults overloading your feet, in India.
Video gait analysis for the diabetic foot in India records your walking in slow-motion video so that abnormal movement patterns, in the ankle, knee, hip and foot, can be seen frame by frame and linked to the areas being overloaded and at risk of ulceration. At Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) it is performed by Dr. Ashutosh Shah and our team in Surat, Gujarat and Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh.
Why Video Gait Analysis Matters
Diabetes changes the way joints and muscles work, altering your walk and shifting load onto vulnerable parts of the sole. Because nerve damage hides this, video is often the clearest way to see the fault. The IWGDF 2023 guidelines stress reducing abnormal mechanical loading to prevent foot ulcers.
How Video Gait Analysis Is Done
- You walk on a walkway or treadmill while cameras record from several angles.
- The footage is slowed down to study each phase of the step.
- Movement of the foot, ankle, knee and hip is assessed for abnormal patterns.
- Findings are matched with pressure data and any callus or ulcer sites.
- The test is non-invasive and involves no radiation.
Video gait analysis works best alongside a pedobarogram and the broader gait analysis in our diagnostic service.
Who Should Get Video Gait Analysis
- Diabetics with recurring ulcers on the same part of the foot.
- People with foot deformity, an unsteady walk or suspected Charcot foot.
- Anyone with uneven shoe wear or balance problems.
- Patients being planned for corrective footwear or surgery.
Why Choose EDFC and Dr. Ashutosh Shah
EDFC is India’s first chain of clinics dedicated to diabetic foot care, and it treats faulty movement as a direct cause of wounds. Video findings feed into your footwear assessment and, under Dr. Shah’s reconstructive expertise, into surgical planning when a deformity must be corrected.
What Happens After the Test
You receive a plan to correct or accommodate the movement fault, usually offloading footwear and insoles plus ongoing preventive diabetic foot care, and, where needed, corrective surgery.
