Using advanced treadmill technology with integrated foot pressure mapping and video analysis, we assess your:
- Running injury assessment
- Running technique analysis
- Walking gait assessment
- Foot strike and loading
- Movement efficiency
- Injury risk factors
Whether you’re dealing with pain, running injuries, or want to improve performance, this gives you clear, data-driven answers.
What is Zebris treadmill gait analysis?
The Zebris system is an advanced diagnostic treadmill equipped with thousands of calibrated pressure sensors built into the running surface. As you walk or run, it captures how force is distributed through your feet and lower limbs with every step.
During your treadmill gait analysis Penrith, you’ll walk or run while our podiatrists capture:
- Foot strike patterns and overpronation test
- Pressure distribution through the foot (foot pressure scan)
- Symmetry between left and right sides
- Step length and timing
- Running or walking efficiency
- Left vs right symmetry
- Joint movement and alignment
The result is a highly detailed biomechanics assessment picture of your movement that cannot be seen with the naked eye alone or in a standard assessment.
Why Get a Running Analysis?
A professional walking and running analysis can help you:
- Identify the cause of foot, knee, or hip pain
- Improve running technique and efficiency
- Reduce injury risk
- Optimise footwear and orthotics

Gait Analysis Penrith FAQ’s
Do I need a referral for gait analysis or running assessment in Penrith?
No, you do not need a referral for a full running assessment. You can book a Zebris gait analysis directly with OnePointHealth. However, some patients are referred by their GP, physiotherapist, or podiatrist depending on their condition.
How long does a Zebris gait analysis or running assessment take?
A typical gait analysis appointment takes around 30–45 minutes. This includes walking or running on the treadmill, data collection, and a clinician review of your results. Your clinician will then explain your movement patterns and discuss treatment options.
What is involved in a Zebris gait analysis?
The gait analysis is super easy and non-invasive. You will simply walk or run on a treadmill while sensors and cameras record your movement.
Can gait analysis help with orthotics?
Yes. Gait analysis is often used to support orthotic prescription. The Zebris system provides detailed pressure and loading data that helps clinicians design or recommend orthotics that better match your biomechanics.
Is Zebris gait analysis suitable for runners?
Yes. A full gait analysis is particularly useful for runners. It can identify inefficiencies in running technique, asymmetries, and loading patterns that may contribute to injuries such as shin splints, plantar fasciitis, or knee pain.
What’s the difference between a normal gait assessment and Zebris gait analysis?
A standard gait assessment is usually done visually by a clinician. Zebris gait analysis uses advanced pressure sensors and video technology to provide objective, data-driven insights into how your body moves. This allows for more precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
Can gait analysis help prevent walking or running injuries?
Yes. By identifying abnormal movement patterns early, a gait analysis can help reduce the risk of overuse walking or running injuries and guide improvements in running or walking technique, footwear, and biomechanics.
