What do you notice?
Take a moment to observe his running gait pattern from a posterior view. Do you notice anything?
What does the data says?
If you’ve noticed, the running quality score already indicates a weakness/low score in the symmetry parameter. At Runeasi, we automatically identify any weak links in the running pattern. In this case, the runner exhibits poorer dynamic stability on the right leg. By examining the posterior view of the running pattern, we can delve deeper into the underlying causes.
What is the underlying cause?
During mid-stance, it’s clear that the right leg support shows a dropped shoulder and a wide right arm action. These compensatory movements are commonly observed due to inadequate pelvic and core control. It’s crucial to broaden our focus beyond the alignment of the ankle (pronation), knee (valgus), and hip (pelvic drop) and consider potential compensation strategies as well.
