RunEasi Gait Analysis System: Overview, Functionality, and Benefits for Runners
Starting in March 2025, Finish Line PT is utilizing a new system for running gait analysis. Here’s an overview of the new process and how it works.
What is RunEasi?
RunEasi is an advanced gait analysis system designed to help runners optimize their running form, prevent injuries, and enhance performance. Developed using biomechanics research and sensor technology, RunEasi provides real-time insights into a runner’s movement patterns, allowing for data-driven improvements in technique.
How Does RunEasi Work?
1. Wearable Sensor Technology
The system includes lightweight motion sensors that attach to a runner’s waist using a very lightweight belt.
These sensors capture detailed biomechanical data while running.
2. Real-Time Data Collection & Analysis
RunEasi measures key gait metrics, including:
✅ Stride length & cadence – Helps identify overstriding or inefficient pacing.
✅ Ground contact time (GCT) – Tracks how long each foot stays on the ground.
✅ Impact forces – Assesses how much stress is placed on joints with each step.
✅ Pronation & footstrike pattern – Determines if a runner lands on their heel, midfoot, or forefoot.
✅ Symmetry & balance – Detects imbalances between the left and right sides of the body.
3. AI-Powered Insights & Feedback
The data is processed through AI algorithms, which compare the runner’s mechanics to optimal running patterns.
Runners receive personalized feedback, providing real-time coaching cues and post-run analysis.
How Can RunEasi Benefit Runners?
✅ Injury Prevention
Identifies improper biomechanics that may lead to injuries (e.g. high impact forces or side to side differences).
Helps runners make necessary adjustments before pain or injuries develop.
✅ Performance Optimization
Provides insights into efficiency and energy usage, helping runners refine their form for better endurance and speed.
Allows runners to fine-tune cadence and stride length for optimal pacing.
✅ Personalized Training Adjustments
Runners can track improvements over time and we can adjust their training based on data rather than guesswork.
✅ Better Recovery Management
Monitors fatigue levels by analyzing changes in gait mechanics over time.
Helps runners adjust workload and recovery strategies to avoid overtraining.
✅ Works for All Runners
Useful for beginners looking to avoid common mistakes, intermediate runners aiming for efficiency, and elite athletes refining their performance.
RunEasi is a powerful tool for any runner looking to improve form, stay injury-free, and maximize performance. By providing real-time, data-driven insights, it helps runners make smart, informed adjustments to their running mechanics. Whether training for a marathon or simply aiming for a more comfortable run, RunEasi offers a scientific approach to better running.
