How To Do Your First Mobile Gait Analysis With Ochy

Updated over 4 months ago

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.
