How To Do Your First Mobile Gait Analysis With Ochy

Ever wondered how efficient your running form really is?

You might be missing key details that impact your speed, running economy, or even increase your risk of injury — without even realizing it.

That’s where Ochy’s gait analysis comes in. No need for wearables, sensors, or lab appointments. All you need is your smartphone and a few seconds to get started.

In this article, we’ll walk you through how to do your first gait analysis with Ochy and what to expect from the results.

🏃‍♂️ Why Your Running Form Matters

Your running technique plays a crucial role in performance and injury prevention. Subtle inefficiencies in posture, foot strike, or joint movement can lead to:

  • Lower running economy (you get tired faster)
  • Increased injury risk
  • Reduced overall speed and performance

Traditional gait analyses require expensive lab equipment or specialized hardware. Ochy simplifies this — bringing AI-powered biomechanics straight to your phone.
