Run3D Performance Test
Improve your performance and prevent injuries with our Run3D Performance Test
Run3D is a 3D gait analysis that allows us to perform a highly precise measurement of your walking pattern. The goal is to optimize your gait, prevent injuries, and enhance your running performance.
A Run3D Performance program consists of various components that can be customized based on your needs:
- Run3D performance test
- Run3D-performance report and analysis
- GAIT-retraining using cues
Hoe werkt het?
Step 1 – Analyze your gait
Step 2 – Use cues to improve your gait
Step 3 – Improve your performance and prevent injuries
What are the benefits of Run3D?
- Use the tools of top athletes
- Analyze your unique running pattern
- Receive your personal Run3D Performance report
- Discuss your results in a personal consultation with one of our specialists
- Discover areas for improvement in your running pattern
- Identify risk markers to prevent injuries
- Enhance your running performance based on performance markers
- Monitor your progress
Use science
Advanced infrared cameras accurately measure the 3D positions of reflective markers attached to your hips, legs, ankles, and feet. These markers are used to create an exact digital model while you walk or run. This allows us to precisely calculate your joint movement in 3D.
The joint angles are compared to an extensive database of gait patterns to identify any unusual patterns in your walking or running motion. There is no other methodology as accurate and scientifically supported as the Run3D analysis.
This data is processed into the Run3D Performance Report. Based on this report, our specialists can determine the causes of injuries or discomfort, identify risk areas within your gait pattern, or suggest opportunities for performance improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Run3D Program look like?
The program always starts with a Run3D Performance Test at our main location, the Fysiomed sports medical center in Amsterdam. Next, you will receive your Run3D Performance Report and your personal treatment plan. After this, we can start working on your gait pattern using cues that match your risk and performance markers.
How much faster will I run because of this?
It is not possible to specify a percentage of improvement. This depends on various factors, including how consistently the cues are implemented in the gait pattern. However, the difference (if implemented correctly) is significant.
How do cues work?
Retraining your unique gait pattern is done using ‘cues’. These cues are specific instructions that teach you to adapt your current way of walking. When multiple cues are needed, you can expect a period of six weeks to incorporate each adjustment into your walking pattern.
How accurate is the analysis?
Thanks to the technology where infrared cameras precisely measure the position of the reflective markers on your legs, an exact 3D copy of your lower body is created. The analysis shows a completely accurate representation of your body.
What is the difference between running on a treadmill and running outside?
There is much debate about whether running on a treadmill is comparable to running outdoors, so let’s delve a little deeper into that today! Some findings:
– Energy costs of running on a treadmill and running outdoors are largely similar
– Differences in some biomechanical variables may be relevant for performance and injury
– Differences in surface hardness will alter running technique and muscle activation
– Treadmill gait dynamics are more regular, and this repetitive loading may increase the risk of injury
– Bone forces on the shin are lower, but forces on the achilles tendon are higher when running on the treadmill
