Who taught you to walk or run? Chances are, no one did. You just learned by yourself. And you did well. But that doesn't mean you can't do better.

Footstar Motion Analysis Systems was born of the need for applying digital technology to the analysis of human gait. Many things can be determined just by analyzing human gait. In the past, gait analysis consisted of simply watching a person walk or run and trying to catch a problem here or there. Then, with the advent of videotape and slow motion replay, analysis could be done a little easier but problems still remained. Digital Running gait analysis reveals the unique aspects of your motion, allowing us to pinpoint areas for focus. And 3D foot modeling can create custom running orthotics for even greater performance.

Now Footstar has brought gait analysis into the 21st century! Footstar uses high speed (100 frames per second) multi-angle, computer driven, video cameras to dissect motion unique to every person. Running or walking is analyzed from 4 different angles (top, side, front, back) to record gait directly to disk. Runners and walkers are analyzed in real time using Footstar's motion capture technology and are given a motion efficiency checklist to work on at home. The checklist reveals little known "secrets" to improve gait.

• Learn the 10 things to improve your walking or running.
• Improve your propulsivity, resulting in less effort and injury.
• Learn optimum steps per mile and angle of impact.
• How to improve your times, breaking through barriers and plateaus.

You can even take our technology home with you. Every person analyzed is given a DVD of their walking or running file for reference at any time. Gait analysis for runners, walkers, and athletes.
