What is Digital Gait Analysis
Digital gait analysis is an assessment of how your foot and ankle move and bear weight as you walk or stand, using computerized pressure and motion measurement rather than observation alone. It gives Dr. Lazarus a detailed, measurable picture of pressure distribution, pronation, and other mechanical patterns that are difficult to judge by eye. Dr. Lazarus uses the findings to guide custom orthotics and to better understand what is contributing to heel pain, plantar fasciitis, or other foot and ankle symptoms that seem tied to how you walk or stand.

Could This Treatment Help You?
The right treatment starts with understanding what is driving your symptoms. Dr. Lazarus uses advanced diagnostics and podiatric expertise to decide whether this option makes sense for your foot, ankle, or nerve condition.
- Heel pain with an unclear cause
- Plantar fasciitis and arch strain
- Uneven or accelerated shoe wear
- Recurring foot, knee, or lower back discomfort tied to walking mechanics
- Flat feet or high arches affecting gait
- Determining the right custom orthotics prescription
How Does Digital Gait Analysis Work?
This treatment is selected when the underlying mechanics, tissue damage, nerve function, or nail condition call for a more precise approach than generic care.
-
Pressure mapping
records how weight moves across the foot with each step
-
Movement pattern review
looks at how the foot, ankle, and gait cycle work together
-
Pressure point identification
highlights areas of the foot carrying more load than the rest
-
Orthotics baseline
provides the measurements used to design a custom orthotic prescription
-
Objective comparison
gives Dr. Lazarus a measurable reference point to revisit over time
How Dr. Lazarus Uses Digital Gait Analysis
Dr. Lazarus focuses on matching advanced treatment technology to the actual cause of your problem, then combining therapies when that creates a better outcome.
Custom Orthotics Design
The gait analysis findings help guide the design of custom orthotics built around your specific pressure pattern and foot mechanics.
Orthotics matched to your measured gait, not a generic template
Heel and Foot Pain Evaluation
When gait analysis identifies mechanics contributing to heel pain or plantar fasciitis, Dr. Lazarus factors the findings into your broader treatment plan.
One evaluation, a more complete treatment plan
No generic treatment plan. No guesswork. Just a clearer path forward.

Digital Gait Analysis Questions Answered
Digital gait analysis uses computerized pressure and motion measurement to record how your foot and ankle move and bear weight as you walk, giving Dr. Lazarus objective data instead of observation alone. The findings become part of your overall foot and ankle evaluation.
No. The assessment is non-invasive and involves standing and walking across a measurement surface while data is recorded, typically as part of a broader office visit.
The pressure and motion data collected during gait analysis is used to help design a custom orthotic prescription matched to your specific foot mechanics rather than a generic template, so the support is built around how you actually walk.
It can help identify pressure patterns and mechanical factors that may be contributing to heel pain or plantar fasciitis, which Dr. Lazarus considers alongside your exam and history before recommending a treatment plan.
Coverage varies by plan and by the reason for the assessment. Our team can help verify your specific benefits before your visit.
