How does video gait analysis help with footwear?

It records how you walk in slow motion, revealing abnormal movement and where load builds up. Footwear, insoles or a brace are then chosen to correct that loading. At EDFC footwear is matched to your movement, not just your foot shape.

Why does the way I walk affect my footwear?

The movement of your foot, ankle and leg decides where pressure concentrates while walking. Two similar-looking feet can need different footwear, which is why studying your gait leads to a better, safer fit.

Is video gait analysis painful?

No. You simply walk while cameras record you. The test is non-invasive, painless and involves no radiation, making it suitable for almost everyone.

How long does it take?

Video gait analysis usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes, including reviewing the footage. You leave with footwear or orthotics chosen for how you walk.

Is this the same as the diagnostic gait analysis?

It is the same test used with a footwear focus. The gait findings that help explain ulcer risk are the same findings used to choose the right footwear and offloading, so the two go together.

How much does video gait analysis cost in India?

It is a non-invasive test often included within a footwear or biomechanical assessment. EDFC explains all charges before starting. Contact the clinic for an estimate for your case.

Video Gait Analysis

Slow-motion video of your walk that guides the footwear and insoles that fit how you move, in India.

Video gait analysis for diabetic footwear in India records your walking in slow motion so the way you move can be matched to the right footwear, insoles and offloading, correcting the abnormal loading that leads to ulcers. At Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) footwear is fitted to how you actually walk, guided by Dr. Ashutosh Shah (M.S., M.Ch., 22+ years) in Surat, Gujarat and Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh.

Why Gait Guides Footwear

Two feet with the same shape can move very differently, and it is the movement that decides where load builds up. Studying your gait lets footwear and insoles be chosen for how you walk, not just how your foot looks. For the full diagnostic detail, see our video gait analysis assessment page.

How Gait Analysis Shapes Your Footwear

You walk while cameras record from several angles.
The footage is slowed to study each phase of the step.
Abnormal patterns and overloaded areas are identified.
Footwear, insoles or a brace are chosen to correct the loading.
The result is reviewed as you walk in the new footwear.

Who Should Have Gait-Guided Footwear

People with recurring ulcers or an unsteady, changed walk.
Those with foot deformity or uneven shoe wear.
Patients being fitted for diabetic footwear or custom orthotics.
Anyone whose footwear has not stopped their ulcers returning.

Why Choose EDFC and Dr. Ashutosh Shah

EDFC is India’s first chain of clinics dedicated to diabetic foot care, so footwear here is matched to movement, not guessed. Gait findings feed straight into your footwear assessment and offloading plan.

What to Expect

The test is non-invasive and painless. You leave with footwear or orthotics chosen for how you walk, which spreads pressure more evenly and better protects your feet.
