KneeDrive helps runners analyze form from a simple phone video. Use KneeDrive in two ways: โ€ข Recorded: upload a short running clip and get a full report โ€ข Live: capture a quick session and review results immediately KneeDrive is designed to make form feedback simple and practical.

Current analysis includes: โ€ข Cadence โ€ข Ground contact timing โ€ข Flight time โ€ข Vertical oscillation โ€ข Trunk position โ€ข Elbow mechanics โ€ข Form-focused coaching cues Recorded Mode Upload a short clip and KneeDrive processes the run into a detailed report. This is ideal when you want to review mechanics carefully and save the session. Free Run Mode Analyze side-view running footage with the camera held still while the runner moves across frame. Best for track, road, or outdoor stride reviews. Treadmill Mode Analyze side-view treadmill footage for stable, repeatable form checks over time. Live Mode Capture a short segment and review fast feedback right away. Great for demos, quick testing, and immediate coaching. Reports and History โ€ข Review key metrics in one place โ€ข Save sessions you want to keep โ€ข Discard test sessions when you do not need them โ€ข Revisit prior runs in history Best results โ€ข Use a clear side view โ€ข Keep the full runner in frame โ€ข For Free Run, hold the camera steady in landscape at 1x zoom โ€ข For Treadmill, keep the runner centered with a stable side angle KneeDrive is built for runners, coaches, and testers who want fast, practical feedback without extra hardware.
