Video vs Visual Analysis

The key to preventing and treating many common running injuries is to identify and control improper motions and postures of the feet and legs.  Therefore, the method of observing human motion can be a critical factor. 

The Naked Eye

Although the naked eye is the simplest tool for assessing lower limb motions, it is not sensitive enough to detect the rapid and complex movements which occur during running. 

The Camera's Eye

Video is the next step in gait analysis. The camera captures and isolates movements which cannot be properly observed by the naked eye. With advanced digital features such as slow motion and frame-by-frame playback, more precise comparisons and analyses can be obtained.
