RUNfit: digital video running assessments

  Running injuries are common and take a variety of forms. Up to 79.3% of runners report to have been affected by injury, with the knee accounting for 50% of injuries. Factors contributing to running injuries vary greatly and are rarely self-evident, which is why a comprehensive approach to assessing individual risk is recommended. RUNfit provides a unique solution that includes a multifaceted approach to gait assessment, injury risk profiling and performance optimisation. 

• A detailed survey of your health, history, exercise and activation levels, running-specific status and goals.
• Functional clinical assessment involving a series of tests of your foot type, alignment, biomechanics, strength, agility, mobility and balance.
• Treadmill video assessment using high-resolution and ultra-high frame rate. Imaging enables detailed assessment of your running gait pattern.
• High definition visual feedback in real-time from multiple angles while you run.
• Biometric assessment of key elements of the running or walking cycle using video stills.
• Detailed data report in a highly readable format.
• Recommendations for actions to address issues.

The foot and ankle play an integral role in gait analysis. Undesirable foot and ankle mechanics pose more than just a risk in isolation but are often implicated in other common sites of injury, particularly the knee. A RUNfit assessment includes a thorough analysis of foot mechanics and structure. RUNfit assesses gait with and without orthotics in situ where a client already has orthotics. Where podiatry referral is required, the assessment data can be used in helping create an optimal insole or other orthotic device.
