Walk signature: what your gait communicates
The analysis opens with a plain-English summary of the first impression your walk creates for an observer — the single most defining characteristic of your current movement pattern and what it signals. This is not a biomechanical critique; it is an observer's read, which is the thing that actually matters for presence. The biomechanical findings follow as the explanation for that first impression.
Biomechanical assessment from your video
From a side-view video, the analysis evaluates heel strike pattern and impact, knee drive range, hip extension on the trailing leg, arm swing symmetry and cross-body movement, trunk lean in degrees, head position while walking, and vertical oscillation (bounce). From a front-facing view it adds foot placement angle, step width, hip drop on each side, and shoulder sway. Each finding is described in plain English with the technical term in parentheses.
Strengths, primary issues, and footwear wear pattern
The report identifies two to three genuine strengths in your current walk — patterns that are working and should be preserved — before addressing the primary issue and one or two secondary patterns. A footwear wear pattern prediction is included: based on your gait mechanics, where you likely wear down the soles of your shoes. This is a useful reality check that confirms the analysis against observable evidence you can verify immediately.
Three corrective movement drills
Each drill targets a specific gait pattern with a name, the biomechanical issue it corrects, step-by-step execution instructions, a sets-and-duration prescription, and a progress marker — a concrete observable change that tells you the drill is working. The drills are chosen for the highest-impact issues: fixing the primary problem and the most consequential secondary pattern.
Five presence micro-cues
Beyond mechanics, five specific micro-cues shift how your walk is perceived. Each cue is a single physical adjustment with an immediate visible effect — not a general directive but a precise instruction: "Lift the sternum 2cm — do not pull the shoulders back." Cues cover chest position, pace rhythm, gaze direction, arm carry, and hand state. Context variations are included for professional, social, and formal situations.
