Biomechanical Assessment

Expert Biomechanical Assessment for Foot, Knee & Leg Pain Relief

Professional movement analysis & tailored treatment plans in Kuala Lumpur

At KL Foot Specialist Podiatry, we provide comprehensive biomechanical assessments to identify the root cause of foot, heel, knee, or lower limb pain. Whether you're an active individual, stand for long hours, or suffer from long-standing pain or fatigue. Our detailed assessment helps you move better and live pain-free.

Our evidence-based approach allows us to design personalized treatment plans, including orthotics, exercises, and therapy, based on how your body moves and functions.

What is a Biomechanical Assessment?

A biomechanical assessment is a detailed evaluation of your foot structure, gait (walking pattern), and overall lower limb alignment. It is performed by a qualified podiatrist trained in human movement and musculoskeletal function.

This assessment helps identify issues like overpronation, flat feet, poor posture, leg length differences, or abnormal walking patterns that may contribute to:

• Plantar fasciitis

• Knee pain

• Flat feet or collapsed arches

• Shin splints

• Achilles tendon pain

• Lower back discomfort related to foot mechanics

Understanding these movement patterns is crucial for creating an effective treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

Who Needs a Biomechanical Assessment?

A biomechanical assessment is recommended for:

• Individuals with chronic heel, arch, or foot pain

• People experiencing knee, hip, or lower back pain with no clear cause

• Athletes and active adults experiencing fatigue, strain, or injury

• Children with flat feet, in-toeing, or toe-walking

• Seniors who feel unbalanced, unstable, or fatigued when walking

• Anyone requiring custom orthotics or insoles

• Office workers or teachers who stand or walk for long periods daily

If you've tried treating foot or knee pain without success, a biomechanical assessment could reveal the missing piece.

What to Expect at KL Foot Specialist Podiatry

We use a structured, podiatrist-led approach that includes:

Clinical Movement & Posture Assessment

We begin by reviewing your posture, walking pattern, and joint alignment from head to toe. This includes checking:

• Foot and ankle alignment

• Gait and stride symmetry

• Hip, knee, and lower back mechanics

• Leg length discrepancies

Pressure Plate or Gait Analysis

Using our digital pressure mapping system , we can assess how pressure is distributed across your feet when walking or standing — providing a clearer picture of how your foot function may be causing pain.

Functional Tests & Range of Motion Checks

We evaluate your muscle strength, joint flexibility, and range of motion to detect any restrictions or imbalances that contribute to pain or fatigue.

What Happens After a Biomechanical Assessment?

Once we’ve identified the root cause of your symptoms through the assessment, we’ll guide you through a personalised treatment plan tailored to your daily routine, activity level, and long-term goals.

Depending on your condition, this may include:

• Custom Orthotics – Designed to correct foot posture, redistribute pressure, and support your unique foot shape.

• Therapeutic Exercises – Targeted stretching or strengthening exercises to address muscle imbalances, tightness, or instability.

• Footwear Advice – Recommendations for supportive shoes suited to your foot type and lifestyle (work, sport, home).

• Shockwave or Laser Therapy – For chronic conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, or heel pain.

• Follow-Up Consultations – To monitor progress, review orthotic fit, and adjust your plan as needed.

Our goal is not just short-term pain relief, but to help you move with confidence, prevent future injuries, and maintain long-term foot and lower limb health.
