GAITRite

What GAITRite does

GAITRite, operated by CIR Systems, Inc., designs and manufactures portable single-layer pressure-sensitive walkways that capture temporospatial gait parameters, paired with proprietary analysis software supporting English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. The walkway measures 100+ gait parameters across 8 levels of relative pressure, sets up in under 75 seconds on any smooth surface, and integrates with EMG and motion-capture systems via a time-zero synchronization signal. Output is exportable in Excel and other formats, with web-publishing options for clinical and research documentation. The system is ISO 13485:2016 and CE certified for medical-device use.

GAITRite serves two primary customer segments: clinical and healthcare providers (hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers) using the system for objective gait assessment, pre/post-intervention outcome documentation, and patient compliance tracking; and academic/medical research institutions using the platform for gait-related studies across geriatrics, pediatrics, neurology (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, MS), orthopedic surgery, prosthetics/orthotics, fall-risk assessment, movement disorders (cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy), and PT/rehabilitation. A wholly-owned sub-brand, Gait4Dog, extends the platform into quadruped/veterinary gait analysis.

Revenue is generated through a quote-based hardware-plus-software sale model for the walkway system, bundled with a 2-year hardware and software warranty. Optional extended warranties (subscription/annual) and additional WebEx-based training services provide recurring and professional-services revenue. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct enterprise sales from the Franklin, New Jersey headquarters for North and South America, supported by 19 regional distributors across 54 countries on six continents, with a dedicated regional HQ in Hong Kong for Asia. The company is privately held, founder-led under President Douglas Haas, and operates without disclosed external funding or M&A activity.

• Motion Analysis Corporation: Motion Analysis Corporation provides marker-based motion capture and gait-analysis systems (e.g., Kestrel, Cortex) used in clinical gait labs and orthopedic research, competing with GAITRite in the same clinical and research buyer base.
• zebris Medical GmbH: zebris Medical produces instrumented treadmills and pressure-distribution platforms (FDM-T, FDM) for gait analysis and rehabilitation, directly comparable to GAITRite's pressure-sensitive walkway for measuring footfall and gait parameters.
• Noraxon USA: Noraxon offers EMG, motion capture, and gait-analysis systems (myomotion, Ultium) for clinical rehabilitation and biomechanics research, overlapping with GAITRite in PT, orthopedic, and research gait-assessment use cases.
• Tekscan: Tekscan manufactures high-resolution pressure measurement systems (e.g., Strideway, F-Scan) used for gait and foot-pressure analysis in clinical and research settings, directly competing with GAITRite's pressure-sensitive walkway technology.
• BTS Bioengineering: BTS Bioengineering manufactures clinical gait-analysis systems (e.g., GAITLAB, Smart-DX) using optoelectronic and instrumented treadmills for hospitals and research centers, directly competing with GAITRite in objective temporospatial and 3D gait assessment.

Emerging players

• APDM Wearable Technologies (Clario): APDM produces wearable inertial sensors (Opal, Mobility Lab) for gait and mobility analysis in clinical trials and research, representing an emerging wearable-based alternative to GAITRite's instrumented walkway approach.
• Kinesis QTUG (Kinesis Health Technologies): Kinesis offers the QTUG wearable sensor system for falls-risk and mobility assessment in older adults — an emerging, lower-cost alternative to GAITRite's pressure-walkway in geriatric and fall-risk use cases.

Broad incumbents

• Vicon Motion Systems: Vicon is a well-established motion-capture platform used in clinical gait analysis and broader biomechanics/entertainment markets. While not specialized in temporospatial walkways like GAITRite, Vicon is a common alternative in clinical motion-analysis labs.

Others
