What it is
Measures balance between your left and right sides across all biomechanical metrics. Good symmetry indicates balanced muscle development.
Your Portrait Symmetry Score helps measure how evenly your left and right legs move during each step. A higher score means your motion is more balanced. Your score is based on three types of symmetry:
- Forward Symmetry – Compares how much force your left and right leg generate as they push forward.
- Vertical Symmetry – Compares how evenly your legs move up and down.
- Lateral Symmetry – Compares side-to-side movement between your left and right leg.
Why it matters
- Asymmetry increases injury risk significantly
- Uneven loading causes overuse injuries on the stronger side
- Indicates potential muscle imbalances or past injuries
- Affects running efficiency and energy expenditure
- Can reveal compensation patterns from old injuries
