Knee pain and biomechanics in Penang
Foot and ankle movement can influence how the lower leg and knee manage load, but it is only one part of knee pain. Wonderwalk assesses pressure, gait, mobility, posture and footwear to see whether there is a useful mechanical target below the knee.
Does your knee hurt more on stairs, longer walks or runs, and change when you wear different shoes?
Every step begins at the ground. How the foot loads and how the ankle moves can change the timing and direction of forces through the lower leg. The hip and pelvis also affect the knee from above, so we do not blame every knee problem on flat feet.
We map foot pressure, check ankle and foot mobility, observe the knee and pelvis during gait and compare the shoes used for walking, work or sport. Existing medical findings help us keep the assessment focused.
If the foot and shoe are contributing, footwear guidance or bespoke insoles may be used to influence a specific loading pattern. Swelling, locking, trauma or true giving way needs direct medical or physiotherapy assessment of the knee.
The RM300 assessment covers foot pressure, gait, posture, foot mobility and a foot blueprint or measurements. We explain findings verbally. A written report has a separate fee. If you proceed with the recommended solution within one month, the RM300 is credited toward it.
Before you book
No. They are relevant only when the assessment finds a lower-limb loading pattern that can reasonably be influenced from the foot and shoe.
Standing alignment does not show how the foot, ankle, knee and pelvis behave through a moving step.
