MotionMetrix – Markerless 3D Gait Analysis with Force Sensing

MotionMetrix is a 3D gait analysis platform powered by markerless motion capture and treadmill integrated force measurement, uniquely combined in a single system.

This easy-to-use platform provides real-time gait feedback as well as complete clinical assessment reports – making lab-grade gait analysis accessible to anyone.

By replacing guesswork with solid biomechanical data, runners can learn how to run faster with less effort, retailers deliver accurate shoe recommendations, and clinicians can make more informed treatment decisions and prevent injury.

FAQ

01

Has the system been validated?

Yes. The 3D joint positions, forces and running economy have been validated against laboratory reference equipment.

02

Why can’t you do proper running analysis with just a phone camera?

Running is a 3D movement event. Most mobile phone gait analysis apps rely on 2D video and pose estimation, where depth needs to be estimated rather than measured – reducing 3D accuracy significantly. MotionMetrix uses depth cameras to measure the depth which yields reliable joint positions, in 3D.
‍
More importantly, proper gait analysis also requires force data. Cameras alone cannot accurately measure ground reaction forces, contact time, or center-of-pressure – essential parameters for understanding performance, loading, and injury risk.
‍
MotionMetrix combines 3D motion capture with integrated force measurement to capture both movement and loading in real time.

03

Can I use MotionMetrix for research?

Yes. MotionMetrix is well suited for research applications thanks to its ability to capture large amounts of synchronized 3D motion and force data quickly and efficiently – making it possible to build large datasets with strong statistical value.

The integrated force platform is not only used for accurate ground reaction force measurements, it also supports the motion capture system with improved time resolution as well as with spatial parameters, such as center-of-mass movement, center-of-pressure, and vertical displacement.

04

Is it difficult to setup and maintain the system?

No. MotionMetrix is designed to be easy to install, calibrate, and operate.
‍
If you choose the MotionMetrix-by-Lode treadmill, the force sensors are integrated directly at the Lode factory before shipping. It is also possible to install the sensors in an existing treadmill and convert it into a force treadmill.

The force platform only needs a one time simple calibration procedure that only takes a minute. A step-by-step setup wizard makes camera alignment fast and easy. Camera calibration is handled automatically by the system.
‍
Once the initial setup is completed, the system is designed for smooth day-to-day operation. Simply walk or run and start analyzing movement and force data.
‍

05

Do you need any special training or expertise to use the system and interpret the results?

MotionMetrix is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, even for users without advanced biomechanical expertise.
The system guides users through the testing process, and the results are presented in a clear and structured way.

For customers who want deeper insights, we also offer training sessions on both testing procedures and data interpretation.
