Running and Gait Analysis
With our many years of experience and the latest measurement techniques on the treadmill or our indoor sprint track, we can optimize the gait pattern.
Data Basis for Success
When pain becomes a constant companion in physical activities, it is worth taking a closer look at the musculoskeletal system. Our comprehensive running and gait analysis is the first step towards a better body feeling. Using different techniques, we capture all relevant parameters for determining therapeutic measures to improve the gait pattern. If necessary, we also use the data for the production of custom orthopedic insoles .
The Running and Gait Analysis in Detail
The approximately 60-minute analysis procedure at NUMO begins on the mirror table, where we statically assess the feet as well as the knee, hip, and leg axes. This is followed by a video analysis on the treadmill to examine the dynamic rolling behavior of the foot – when walking and jogging, as well as the mechanical force transmission over the knee, hip, and pelvis. Additionally, we measure the pressure distribution over the entire foot.
We review the evaluations together in a personal consultation and decide on the further course of action. The data then serves as a basis for the production of everyday or sports insoles.
Running Analysis on the Sprint Track
If necessary, our indoor sprint track by Conica is used. It has an authentic tartan track structure and can also be used with spike or studded shoes. The only difference: the integrated biomechanical measurement systems. In addition to high-speed and infrared cameras, pressure sensors, and a force measurement plate, the track is equipped with a speed laser and a stride length detector. This allows us not only to analyze running technique but also to identify asymmetries in the gait pattern or material weaknesses.
