Running and gait analysis

NUMO running and gait analyses cost between CHF 119.85 and CHF 323.50 for adults, depending on the scope. On the sprint track, the prices for the running analysis are CHF 200.– per hour. For youths up to 16 years old, a running and gait analysis costs CHF 119.85.

The running and gait analysis at NUMO in Dietikon includes the following points:

• Static assessment of the feet, knee, hip, and spinal axes on the mirror table
• Video analysis on the treadmill to assess the dynamic rolling behavior of the foot and the mechanical force transmission to the knee, hip, and pelvis when walking or jogging
• Oral explanation of the video images, including a copy for you
• Measurement of dynamic pressure distribution using Materialise® Footscan

On our NUMO indoor sprint track, biomechanical measurements can be conducted under real conditions. We analyze running styles barefoot, with running shoes, spike shoes, or soccer shoes. Additionally, original starting blocks and hurdles can be used on the track.

In principle, a running and gait analysis is beneficial for anyone who wishes to move pain-free, efficiently and healthily. An analysis is recommended in the following cases:

If you have symptoms: If you experience pain in your feet, knees, hips or back, the cause often lies in incorrect weight-bearing that occurs whilst walking or running.

For children and teenagers: To counteract developmental issues at an early stage.

For prevention: To identify misalignments or muscular imbalances early on, before they lead to chronic injuries or premature joint wear.

In everyday life: If your job involves a lot of standing or walking and you wish to relieve pressure on your joints with custom-made insoles.

For sports enthusiasts: If you want to step up your training, find the right running shoes or make your technique more efficient and less strenuous.

Unfortunately, compulsory basic health insurance does not cover the costs of our services and products. Costs are covered only through appropriate supplementary insurance. Whether and to what extent costs are covered varies significantly depending on the insurer and the chosen policy. We therefore strongly advise you to check in advance with your insurer regarding potential cost coverage.

Running and gait analysis
Running and gait analyses are rarely covered. Even running and gait analyses required in connection with the provision of insoles are not covered by SUVA, accident or military insurance, even if they have been medically prescribed. We recommend clarifying cost coverage directly with your health insurance provider in advance.

Orthopaedic insoles
Shoe insoles can usually be claimed through supplementary insurance. However, it is worth checking in advance. SUVA, accident and military insurance providers normally cover the costs of orthopaedic insoles if a medical prescription is provided. 

A doctor’s prescription is not strictly necessary for an appointment at NUMO. However, a doctor’s prescription helps us to understand what medical assessment has already been made. This ensures that our orthopaedic aids are tailored precisely to your diagnosis and the doctor’s recommendations.

For most supplementary insurance policies, a doctor’s prescription is also a basic requirement for assessing or guaranteeing cost coverage. 

No, there are no doctors working at NUMO. We do not carry out medical examinations and therefore do not make medical diagnoses. If you have any acute injuries, please contact your GP or a specialist in orthopaedics.

No, we do not carry out radiological examinations such as X-rays, MRIs or CT scans. These procedures fall within the remit of specialists in radiology or orthopaedics.

Our tip: If you already have recent X-rays or medical reports, please feel free to bring them with you to your appointment. They will help us gain an even more accurate picture of your overall situation.

Yes, we strongly recommend that you book an appointment in advance. As we want to allow sufficient time for every analysis and consultation, our schedule is tightly organised. Without a prior booking, we can only see you in very exceptional circumstances, provided an analyst is available – which, however, is rare due to high demand.

The benefit for you: By booking an appointment, you avoid unnecessary waiting times and we can focus entirely on your individual needs and your biomechanical assessment.
