Running Gait Analysis and Performance Training - Using Runeasi Technology
Runeasi is an advanced software technology that computes essential biomechanical components using pelvic accelerometry data from an IMU device (Inertial Measurement Unit). To ensure the acquisition of high-quality and reliable data, we use a specialized running belt featuring anti-slip material to eliminate motion artifacts.
What is Runeasi?
The act of running impacts your muscles, joints and ligaments. The impact when the foot hits the ground is repetitive and ruthless. Unlike standard metrics like heart rate, distance, speed and time, Runeasi technology can capture these impacts. Overload, asymmetry and poor movement control causes setbacks, injuries and pain. Up to 79% of runners get injured each year. And because everyone moves differently, Runeasi employ AI technology to assess how your way of moving impacts your body. Runeasi can detect how specific exercises and running technique affect your body’s ability to cope with these impacts.
How Does It Work?
We quantify your running technique based on objective and evidence-based metrics after 10 years of research at KU Leuven. We obtain how much impact your body is subjected to and how fast you absorb it through your lower legs. We also measure your dynamic instability, which is linked to efficiency, fatigue, and injury risk. With this information, we can objectively provide individualized feedback, training, and tips that help you to move better.
What metrics are used?
Impact magnitude:
How much impact reaches your center of mass after contact with the ground? Higher impact values increases your total running load over the same time or distance.
Impact duration:
How you absorb the impact through your legs after you made contact with the ground? A longer impact duration is linked to a softer and better coordinated landing.
Dynamic instability:
How much energy is wasted that is not contributing to forward propulsion due to lower pelvic movement coordination and control. This is linked to running efficiency and injury risk due to extra strain and compensation of stabilizing muscles.
Contextual factors:
Cadence and ground contact time are parameters that can be used to optimize running technique.
Who is it for?
Runners stuck in the injury cycle
Tired of injuries slowing you down? Runeasi pinpoints movement inefficiencies that overload your body—so you can break the cycle and keep running.
Runners chasing better performance
Run smarter, not harder. Runeasi fine-tunes your form to boost efficiency, speed, and performance.
Athletes coming back from time off
Returning to running? Runeasi shows you what to focus on so you rebuild strength, move well, and avoid setbacks.
