What is symmetry?

Symmetry refers to left vs right balance in biomechanical parameters measured by Runeasi. Poor symmetry can be a cause or consequence of injury and plays a role in running efficiency. Therefore, It’s important to address left vs right differences and work on these imbalances.

It is important to note that higher or lower values on the injured leg can potentially indicate different conditions. To better understand this, it is crucial to recognize two distinct categories: overloading and protective gait patterns.

Overloading pattern

The overloading pattern refers to a condition in which the injured leg exhibits worse values. This imbalance can both contribute to and result from your injury. It is essential to improve this left-to-right imbalance in order to enhance robustness and running efficiency.

Protective pattern

The protective gait pattern refers to a condition in which the injured leg exhibits better values. This imbalance is typically a consequence of injury to reduce the load on the injured leg. It’s essential to restore balance and make the injured leg ready for loads again.

Exercise training to improve symmetry

To enhance your symmetry, consider incorporating additional single-leg exercises into your training. Provide greater focus, intensity, and/or volume (reps or sets) to the weaker leg.

Select the parameter in which you need to improve your left-to-right imbalance.

3 REASONS TO CAPTURE DATA USING THE RUNEASI BELT

1. No motion artifacts. The Runeasi belt is secured tightly against the body and the skin to capture the actual movements of the body’s center of mass. Attaching or clipping the sensor directly to the pants would allow the sensor to wobble from side to side (i.e., measuring the wobbling of the pants, and not the human body.

2.  Easy to standardize the sensor’s positioning. The Runeasi belt makes it easy to consistently position the sensor close to the center of mass. Attaching the sensor directly to the pants would dramatically affect the reliability of the outputs as the height and tightness of the pants will affect the results. Moreover, these pants attachments often shift sideways while running which further decreases the data quality. 

 3. Comfortable to wear.  Hundreds of runners confirmed that they immediately forget about our belt while running. This allows them to move without any restrictions and allows us to capture movements that are representative of a client’s true biomechanics.
