Gait aid
Back in 2006 after my first op on my leg, I started having pain and felt that I was walking unevenly. As a result, I decided to conduct an experiment to highlight the pressure points on my feet as I walk.
I found some Clarks shoes that have grip pattern consisting of numerous pimples. After wearing the shoes for a month, I counted the worn pimples and assigned a colour based on the extent of wear Blue(normal), red(worn), white(worn through the soul). That made it possible to visualise the extent of my asymmetrical gait.
As you can see: The left foot assumed dominance (my right leg having been broken), showing significantly more wear towards the heel. Overall both shoes show a weight distribution shifted towards the left, and the wear line running down the top medial right shoe perhaps indicates a slight dragging of the right foot.
