Running Analysis
Do you know how you run? Running and training by feel can only take you so far. Your running technique determines your running efficiency. Understanding your running technique can help predict areas where you might be prone to injuries. Learning about the biomechanics of running and learning your individual metrics will help you understand what you need to do to stay on track for a lifetime of safe running.
Do you want to reduce your risk of injury?
Are you getting back into running after recovering from an injury?
Do you want to get the most out of your running technique?
Are you looking to understand the way you run and if it can be improved?
Are you looking to set a personal record in your favorite distance race?
Do you want to know which shoes best suits your running style?
Our Complete Running Analysis has four areas of assessment:
Detailed History: Past medical history, past and current injuries, training history, shoe preference and future goals.
Physical Assessment: Functional Movement Assessment, flexibility, strength, mobility, balance and coordination.
Motion Assessment: Slow motion video is taken from the side and rear views. Data is also collected from three wearable motion sensors by The RunScribe System; a comprehensive gait analysis platform that captures data from both feet and the hip-pelvic area at every step. RunScribe offers detailed metrics and powerful visualizations on stride mechanics. RunScribe provides left/right symmetry across every Advance Metric. Advanced Metrics are Stride Length, Step Rate, Contact Time, Stride Angle, Flight Time, Footstrike Type, Pronation Excursion, Pronation Velocity, Impact Gs and Breaking Gs.
RunScribe provides a shoe print visualization; a visual map that helps you assess the entire ground contact progression from foot strike to toe-off.
Another unique feature of RunScribe is the data and insight it generates on the hip-pelvic function. It allows for rapid identification of pelvic control and the degree of asymmetry between the left and right motions to determine which side may be problematic.
Analysis and Recommendations: A printout of the Data is reviewed and a personalized exercises program is created. Recommendations are given on proper footwear and how to address areas of concern.
