Discover the advanced technology of “motion caption” : the detailed capture of full body movements. With high-tech motion cameras, your running motion is imaged and analyzed in detail.
Using 12 high-speed cameras, the Qualisys running performance system records as many as 35 reflective markers on your body during your running motion. This automatic tracking system is used worldwide for runners of all levels to achieve better performance and fewer injuries and is unique in Belgium in this setup.
What clothes do I have to wear for a Qualisys marker analysis?
For this analysis, bring running clothes with as little reflection as possible. For men, only shorts or tight and for women, also a sports top or sports bra.
How do I book a Qualisys marker analysis?
We offer this technology as part of the “running posture” package. Together with a back scan, measuring your leg length (discrepancy?) and the video footage we take, this detailed analysis gives a complete picture of your running posture.
Once you know which package is right for you, you can make an appointment online. If you are in doubt or would like to consult verbally, please contact prolab@runnerslab.be.

FAQ
Is there radiation in a Qualisys analysis?
No. They are cameras that notice the reflection of markers on your body. So there is no radiation involved.
What is the difference between a Qualisys and a Quintic analysis?
In a Quintic analysis, we use 6 cameras to image your running posture. This allows us to analyze delayed images and magnify your running motion. We use this in both packages and use it to show the impact of your foot stability on the rest of your body.
A Qualisys analysis uses markers that not only look at your running posture visually, but also theoretically. Here the focus is on the complete running posture. This analysis is part of the “running posture” package and not the “gait analysis” package where the focus is more on your foot stability, shoes and soles.
Is this Qualisys analysis for everyone?
Yes, anyone can book this analysis. You don’t need a prescription for it, and it’s not just for top athletes. On the contrary, recreational runners often have even more to gain from improving their running technique. We recommend working with your physiotherapist or trainer afterwards with the report you receive. The Qualisys technology is part of the “running posture” package and the combo package we offer. An overview of the packages most commonly taken can be found on the prolab page.
Do you need a prescription to have a gait analysis done?
No. Anyone who wants more insight into their own running posture can book this analysis on their own initiative.
We recommend using the report you receive from the Prolab to work with your physiotherapist or trainer.
Can I come at any moment for a Qualisys analysis?
No. For the Prolab tests, you should always make an appointment. Testing is done by professionals so an appointment is necessary to ensure that the right people as well as the infrastructure are available.
What should I wear for a Qualisys analysis?
For your running analysis, wear shorts or tight with as little reflection as possible. For proper analysis, gentlemen are best to walk in bare torso, ladies in top or sports bra. If you find this very uncomfortable, we will look if running in a singlet is possible.
Where can I have a Qualisys analysis performed?
The Prolab is located at Runners’ lab, Westpoort 68, 2070 Zwijndrecht Belgium.
How much does it cost to have a Qualisys analysis done?
We offer the various analyses in packages because it is often a combination of services that ensures you get what you are looking for.
If your initial goal is to learn more about your foot stability and gait pattern, it is best to choose the “gait analysis” package. If you are particularly interested in your running technique and posture, then the “running posture” package is best suited. Both packages can be supplemented by optional services and analyses.
