The h/p/cosmos Gaitway 3D is a high-precision force-measuring treadmill for three-dimensional gait analysis, developed jointly with Arsalis. It measures ground reaction forces and torques in three directions at speeds of up to 40 km/h and is ideal for biomechanics, performance diagnostics, and rehabilitation.
Unlike split-belt treadmills, the Gaitway 3D uses a single, continuous running surface – a validated algorithm mathematically decomposes the measured combined force into left and right foot force. This allows natural walking and running without forcing foot placement, with a relative deviation of only 1.8–2.5% compared to real measured values. Ideal in combination with Vicon motion capture and EMG.
High signal quality thanks to a stable build, including 20° incline with reverse belt rotation for versatile test scenarios.
One continuous running surface instead of a split belt – more natural movement, validated for healthy and clinical gait.
150/50, 170/65, and 190/65 cm – each size optimized for a specific speed range.
The Gaitway 3D’s decomposition algorithm has been validated in several peer-reviewed studies, including 374 steps of healthy and 437 steps of clinical gait data (Meurisse et al., 2016). For further technical background and validation studies, see the official whitepaper.

More InformationThe Gaitway 3D is designed for high-precision 3D force and torque measurement during walking and running – ideal for biomechanics, performance diagnostics and clinical gait analysis. It provides ground reaction forces (Fx, Fy, Fz), moments and a comprehensive list of biomechanical gait parameters, in combination with Vicon motion capture and EMG. Details of the measurement principle can be found in the technical white papers
A range of options are available for the Gaitway 3D, including fall protection systems with an emergency stop, chest harnesses in various sizes, removable handrails and additional interfaces for EMG, pressure-sensing plates and other sensors. A complete overview can be found in the Spezifikationsübersicht or, on request, directly from our team.
The manufacturer recommends an annual inspection and service for this treadmill. In the event of faults, malfunctions or when maintenance is due, please contact our support team: support@prophysics.ch
