User manual and Outcome parameters
PhysiRun Live
Thank you for purchasing our PhysiRun Live, the easy-to-use system to help select
appropriate footwear, correct running technique and prevent injuries based on shoe-worn
sensors. Physilog®5 sensors measure the movement in the field while a user-friendly
mobile application computes relevant information and provides results with in-lab precision.
This manual introduces how to use the sensors and mobile application for running analysis.

Attach
Fix the sensors on the feet/
shoes using the rubber
clips or foot attachment
straps. The sensors can be
placed in any orientation.
Start
Select options and start
the recording from the
application. Sensors shine
green and start to blink.
Run
Wait until the two sensors
blink green synchronously
and ask the subject to run
for 10m or more.
Stop
Stop the recording from
the application, the LED
turns orange and twinkles
while sending remaining
data to the tablet.
Display report
Once the files are
transferred to the
application and from there
to the server, the running
report is available.
Connect
Enter login information, go
to Gait analysis and select
“New measure”. Connect
the 2 Physilog® 5 to the
application.

3. Recording with Physilog®5 and the PhysiRun Live – details
3.1. Connection to mobile application
Each time you open the application you need to connect the two Physilog®5 to the mobile
device. Once they are connected you don't need to repeat this procedure when switching
between different parts of the application.
To connect Physilog®5 to the application for running analysis, login with your user name
(email address) and password and enter the “Running Analysis” functions of the app. Make
sure that your device's Bluetooth is turned on and connect it to the internet. There is no need
to pair your Physilog® with the tablet prior to Bluetooth communication.
Click on the “Available Physilogs” refresh button below the picture of
the Physilog®5 on the left of the screen of the application to look for
available sensors. Choose two Physilog® from the list and click on the
“Connect” button beside the sensor name. The name of the sensor
contains the number which is written on the back of the Physilog®5.
Troubleshoot: If a sensor is not detected by the tablet, shortly press the main button of the
sensor to enter detection mode. If the sensor can still not be connected, check that it has
enough battery and is not connected to another mobile device and if necessary ultimately
do a reset of the sensor as explained in section 4.4 Troubleshoot. If the sensor has
incompatible firmware version for using with the app, the app displays an error message
and automatically disconnects from the sensor. If the sensor is blinking after disconnection,
you need to do a soft reset of the sensor (see section 4.4 Troubleshoot). Physilog5 user
manual explains how to update firmware.
When the sensors are connected the button changes to “Disconnect”
and a green dot appears besides the sensor name. You can see a
battery level estimation for each sensor below the battery symbol
and you can check if the sensor is measuring by displaying the raw
data inside the Signals Visualizer part of the app.

For devices with small screen (such as smart phones), the sensor connection screen is
available after clicking on the image of Physilog®5 in the top right corner of the application.
Note: In order to be able to generate the report, the tablet needs internet connection.
Bluetooth 4.0 or higher is required on the mobile device to be able to communicate with
Physilog®5.
3.2. Attachment
The PhysiRun Live is delivered with 2 rubber clips as default accessory. Elastic foot straps
can be bought from the web-shop (shop.gaitup.com) if needed, for example to measure
barefoot running.
To insert the Physilog®5 into the rubber clip, slide the sensor into the clip on one side then
carefully pull the rubber of the opposite side to cover the edge of the Physilog®. The USB
entry of the Physilog® should be oriented in front of the clip opening, so that the sensor can
be charged without removing the clip.
Then fix the sensors on the feet in the shoelaces in a way that they don't move with respect
to the foot / shoe. It is also possible to fix the sensor on the outer side of the shoe (on the
inner side there is a risk of hitting it while running). The exact orientation of the sensor is not
important, the software automatically finds it.
3.3. Runner and shoe database
Upon entering the Running part of the application, you can select from default or previous
“subjects”. This allows to find reports for comparison more easily. Do not enter the real
name of the person but enter a codified runner ID if you want to guarantee anonymity of the
data on the server. You can always modify the subject information after having entered and
saved it by clicking on the pencil symbol below the subject information on the left side of the
screen.
When you have connected to two sensors, you can select or enter the shoe model the runner
is wearing. Previously created models are registered and proposed. You can also enter
some text when clicking on the « Comment » tab besides the “Shoe” tab.
Once the shoe model entered, you can start the running measurement by clicking on “Start”.
