Running Performance Gait Analysis

$179

Book Now
A test for individuals who want to understand their running gait and enhance running performance, using data-driven technology.
Your Running Gait patterns influences efficiency, performance and metabolic loading.
Pre-assessment and discussion of training/health goals & history
Complete Running Performance Gait Analysis using elite IMU technology and video software. Live feedback and gait re-training strategies/cueing. If you have different running shoes, bring these with you so we can determine which shoes are best for your different training needs.  
Post analysis complete report along with analysis video sent to you so you understand your running and how to improve it
Add on data-interpretation & training recommendations consult for just $110
IDEAL FOR:
Individuals training or competing in an endurance/running activity looking to gain data-driven insights into their running gait patterns and performance. Essential for identifying deviations that may hinder running performance and increase the risk of injury.

We gain data during our protocols on a variety of metrics important for youth athlete development and performance:

  • Motor Control: Described as the initiation, grading, and regulation of movement involving the musculoskeletal and nervous system.
  • Strength Capacity: Also described as strength endurance, capacity measurements and programming assist in improving fatigue resistance of muscles.
  • Peak Height Velocity: Peak Height Velocity (PHV) refers to the period during which an adolescent experiences their fastest rate of growth in height during puberty. It is a key indicator in growth and development studies and marks the most rapid growth phase in a child’s height. PHV typically occurs during the growth spurt associated with puberty and is used as a benchmark to assess physical maturity.
  • Apophyseal Injuries: Apophyseal injuries are injuries that occur at an apophysis, which is the growth plate where a tendon attaches to a bone. These injuries are common in growing children and adolescents, as their bones are still developing and the apophysis is a weaker area compared to surrounding structures like tendons or muscles.
  • Running Gait Deviations: A variety of deviations may be present during the running gait cycle that contribute to reduced efficiency, performance and increased injury risk. These are assessed through our IMU and video analysis technology.
  • Proprioception: Proprioception is the neuromuscular system's ability to sense the position, movement, and spatial orientation of the body and its parts. It is mediated by specialized sensory receptors known as proprioceptors, located in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joint capsules. Proprioception is integral to motor control, postural stability, and coordinated movement.
