Prevent Hamstring Injuries with Quick Field Gait Checks

Articles
Everyone’s tired of endless Nordic curls and hamstring stretches—only to see athletes pull up sore again. The real culprit often lives outside the back of the leg: poor trunk control, hip timing, or ankle mobility can all dump extra load onto hamstrings during a sprint. But traditional labs—with force plates, infrared markers, and eight-camera rigs—are costly, stationary, and produce dizzying spreadsheets few coaches decode.
With AiKYNETIX, a single 30-second sprint on your phone gives you the whole chain—trunk, hip, knee, and ankle—in under a minute, right on the field.

1. Record Once, See the Whole Chain

Film a six-second sprint (side or rear view) with your phone. Upload it to AiKYNETIX and get immediate data on:

✔️ Stride-length balance
✔️ Pelvic stability (drop or tilt)
✔️ Over-striding/braking forces
✔️ Ankle mobility & foot strike
✔️ Hip-knee timing

2. Clear, Color-Coded Feedback

Results appear in green-amber-red flags, with automatic drill suggestions you can tweak:

🟩 Green = keep it up
🟨 Amber = monitor
🟥 Red = time to act

Suggested drills might include hip-abductor strengthening, quick-contact sprints, or ankle-mobility work. Share instantly via link, PDF, or direct API to your performance-tracking system.

3. Plug It into Your Calendar
