Gait analysis
Gait analysis at home: see how you actually walk
Gait analysis is the measurement of how you walk: how fast you step, how evenly your two sides share the work, how your arms and knees move. Libria does it from a short straight walking pass filmed on your phone, and prints cadence, left and right stride time, step-time asymmetry, arm swing, peak knee bend and trunk lean, with how confident the tracking was. It is descriptive: no diagnostic range is applied, so the numbers are yours to compare over time and to show a clinician.

A limp, a shuffle or a hitch in your step is usually more visible to other people than to you, and almost impossible to judge from a mirror. Filming a few steps changes that: the camera sees every step, and a pose model can time each one.
Libria accepts only the straight, clearly tracked parts of the walk. Turns, pauses and moments where a leg is hidden are excluded, and if fewer than six clean steps or three usable seconds were captured, the app asks you to record a longer pass rather than printing numbers it does not trust.
What a Libria gait analysis measures
Cadence
Steps per minute across the accepted walking segments.
Stride time, left and right
How long each leg takes from one footfall to the next, in milliseconds, and the step-time asymmetry between the two sides.
Arm swing
How far each arm swings, and how different the two sides are. A reduced swing on one side is a common thing clinicians look for.
Peak knee flexion
How far each knee bends during the swing phase, and the asymmetry between knees.
Trunk lean and step width
Whether you lean to a side while walking, and how far apart your feet land.
Vertical oscillation
How much your body rises and falls with each step, as a share of leg length.
Evidence and confidence
The number of step events, the usable seconds, and a low, fair or good tracking-confidence label, so you know how much to trust the figures.
When a gait analysis is worth doing
- Somebody has told you that you limp or favour one leg, and you cannot see it yourself.
- You are returning to walking or running after a knee, ankle or hip injury and want to see whether both sides are working evenly.
- One shoe wears down faster than the other.
- You want a baseline before starting physiotherapy, a running programme or a strengthening plan.
- A physiotherapist has asked you to keep an eye on your walking between appointments.
How a Libria scan works
- STEP 01
Open the scan on your phone
No app to install. Sign in, choose the scan type, and prop your phone where it can see all of you.
- STEP 02
Follow the on-screen guide
Three 10-second captures for posture, a short straight walk for gait, or one steady movement for range of motion.
- STEP 03
Read your measured report
Every angle in degrees against a screening band, with plain-English explanations, as a PDF you can keep or send to your physiotherapist.
What a camera scan cannot tell you
- It is a screening tool. It cannot tell you why you walk the way you do, and it cannot diagnose the cause of a limp.
- It works from a flat, two-dimensional video. Timing is an estimate, not a force-plate or motion-capture measurement.
- No diagnostic range is applied to walking measures. They are descriptive, for comparison over time and for a clinician to interpret.
- A short indoor walk is not the same as a long walk outdoors. Fatigue, footwear and floor surface all change gait.
Questions people ask
How do I record a gait analysis on my phone?
Prop your phone at roughly hip height with a clear view of a straight path of a few metres, start the walking scan, and follow the arrow on screen: walk towards the camera, then away from it, then across the frame, all in one clip of up to 30 seconds. The app shows a live skeleton so you can see it is tracking you, and tells you if it needs a longer or clearer pass.
What is a normal cadence?
Comfortable adult walking is commonly around 100 to 120 steps per minute, but it varies with height, age, footwear and how you feel that day. Libria prints your cadence without judging it against a range; the useful comparison is your own cadence on another day, or a clinician’s reading of it.
Can it detect a limp?
It can show you the things a limp is made of: a longer stride time on one side, a smaller knee bend or arm swing on one side, or a lean while walking. Whether that pattern is a limp, and what is causing it, is a question for a physiotherapist or doctor.
Do I need special equipment?
No. A phone with a camera, a few metres of clear floor and even light. There is no app to install; the scan runs in your browser.
What does it cost?
A Basic report is ₹99 and a Detailed report with a full written interpretation is ₹249. Packs bring the price down to ₹200 or ₹180 per report. There is no subscription.
Are the videos stored?
No. Frames are processed on your device for pose tracking and are not uploaded. The report keeps the measurements only.
