CritchPitch Running Gait Screening
Two angles. One complete read.
Upload a clip from the side and one from the front. We analyze each separately, then combine them into what's at risk and what to work on. Built for every runner, first 5K to sub-elite.
The side view reads cadence, overstride, and trunk lean. The front view unlocks the strongest injury-associated patterns, pelvic drop and knee alignment. One clip works; both give the full picture.
What are we looking at?
Filmed in slow motion?
Slow motion gives the sharpest foot-strike detail. Not sure? Pick your best guess, we check the cadence afterward and offer a fix if it looks off.
Your body (optional, sharpens the target)
Height and weight are enough to start. Add real segment measurements for a sharper target and stress map.
Side view
Filmed from the side
Camera square to the runner (perpendicular to travel), level, whole body in frame. Reads cadence, overstride, knee bend at contact, trunk lean, bounce.
Front (or rear) view
Runner facing toward or away
Camera straight on, level, whole body in frame. Unlocks pelvic drop, knee alignment (valgus), and stance width, the strongest injury-associated patterns.
For the cleanest read: film several strides at a steady pace, landscape, with even lighting. A treadmill is ideal and keeps the runner in frame. Higher frame rate (120 to 240 fps slow-mo) sharpens foot-strike and contact-time detail. Everything runs on your device, your videos never leave it.
