🚨 New Specialist Service – Neurological & Complex Gait Assessment Now Available in Derry!
We’re delighted to announce that Foyle Foot & Ankle Clinic will be hosting Conor McDaid (MSc Advanced Clinical Practice, BSc Prosthetics & Orthotics) from Great Gait Ltd, Liverpool, for a specialist clinic offering services that are not currently available anywhere else in Derry or the North West.
👣 Conor is a highly experienced clinician specialising in prosthetics, orthotics, and advanced gait analysis for patients with neurological or complex lower-limb conditions.
This clinic is designed for individuals who may:
🧠 Have a neurological condition (such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, or spinal injury)
🦵 Use splints, braces, or orthoses but still struggle with walking or balance
🚶 Experience abnormal gait patterns due to weakness, spasticity, or joint restrictions
🦴 Have foot, ankle, knee or hip deformities that significantly impact how they walk
Using state-of-the-art gait analysis technology, Conor provides:
✅ Comprehensive gait assessment with video and pressure mapping
✅ Expert advice on splint optimisation and orthotic prescription
✅ Bespoke orthotic design and referral for prosthetic review if required
✅ Detailed clinical report and rehabilitation recommendations
This is an exceptional opportunity for patients and referring clinicians across the North West who want access to advanced, Liverpool-level expertise — without leaving Derry.
🗓️ Clinic Dates: 20th & 21st November 2025
📍 Location: Foyle Foot & Ankle Clinic, Rathmor Centre, Derry
📞 To register interest or book an appointment: Call 02871 730 220 or message our page

🧠 Why it matters:
Many neurological and complex gait patients rely on NHS splinting services with limited capacity for detailed biomechanical analysis. This collaboration bridges that gap — offering functional assessment, evidence-based orthotic solutions, and a chance to improve independence, walking comfort, and quality of life.
