Measuring pressure and gait to design the right footwear.
Video Gait Analysis in India
Video gait analysis in India records how you stand and walk to reveal the movement patterns, foot strike, and deformities that create high-pressure points on a diabetic foot. At EDFC, this guides the design of insoles and footwear that target the real cause of your pressure ulcers.
What is video gait analysis?
Gait analysis studies the way you move. By recording you walking and observing foot strike, alignment, and how weight shifts through each step the team can see why pressure concentrates where it does. It complements a pressure mapping test: pressure mapping shows where load lands, while gait analysis shows how your walking pattern puts it there.
This understanding is what makes offloading effective. Footwear designed from your actual gait protects the right spots, rather than guessing. At EDFC India's first chain dedicated to foot care gait analysis informs footwear prescription under Dr. Ashutosh Shah's team in Surat (Gujarat) and Vizianagaram (Andhra Pradesh).
Who benefits from gait analysis?
- Recurring calluses or ulcers at the same spot
- A foot deformity affecting how you walk
- Uneven shoe wear or a noticeable change in your walk
- Anyone being fitted for custom insoles or offloading footwear
- Reduced sensation (neuropathy) that hides abnormal pressure
When to see a doctor in India: if footwear changes haven't stopped a recurring callus or ulcer, gait analysis can find the movement cause so the next device actually works.
What happens during the assessment
- History & exam — your symptoms, deformities, and footwear are reviewed.
- Standing assessment — alignment and posture are checked.
- Walking recording — your gait is recorded and reviewed frame by frame.
- Pattern analysis — foot strike, pressure timing, and deformity are identified.
- Footwear plan — findings guide insole and shoe prescription.
Why choose EDFC in India
- Targeted offloading — devices based on how you actually move.
- Dedicated foot care — India's first chain built only for foot and ulcer care.
- Joined-up assessment — gait paired with pressure mapping for a full picture.
- Two branches — Surat, Gujarat and Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh.
