Sports Medicine
Injuries. Every runner or walker gets these from time to time. The Columbus Running Company wants you to be healthy, fit,
and active. You shouldn't come to us just because we have great shoes and product. You come to us because we
have the knowledge, training, and desire to help you achieve your goals. Our commitment to you has led us
here.
We've brought in a group of the finest Physical Therapists Columbus has to offer - led by Dayne Conley and
Kelley Newsad. They specifically have an interest in endurance sports. Kelley is now offering Dartfish gait analysis in her office.
Dartfish is an extensive evaluation of your gait and running form. Read below for more info!
You can also find them in our free Running Club and Training Group, the Cbus Pacers.
At that website, you can sign up for free on our online social area, 'The Hub'.
It's a great way to connect to Kelley, especially!

What is Dartfish?
Dartfish is movement analysis software which allows for the assessment of running mechanics to determine
musculoskeletal imbalances and impaired form. Video analysis allows your physical therapist (PT) to
determine the best individualized exercise program as well as real-time video feedback during running.
This allows you to modify your running form instantly, thus decreasing injury risk and improving efficiency.
How Dartfish Can Help Runners
50-75% of runners will lose at least 1 week of training due to a running injury (Kaufman 1999) and ~65%
experience an injury annually from training errors and/or poor biomechanics. Generalized strengthening alone
has not been shown to improve running mechanics, but gait retraining using video feedback has been shown to
carry over to improved running form.
Dartfish Running Assessments at Accelerated Rehabilitation in Powell
Your trained physical therapist will video you running on a treadmill from various angles using a high
speed camera and Dartfish software. Analysis includes slow motion assessment of foot strike, amount of
pronation, hip/knee position, trunk control, as well as step length and cadence. By analyzing these key
components of your running gait, your PT can screen for injury risk factors, treat current injuries, and
improve overall running performance.
How to Schedule Your Individualized Running Assessment
Call Accelerated Rehabilitation in Powell at (614) 791-0700 or email Kelley Newsad, PT at
kelley.newsad@acceleratedrehab.com to schedule a PT evaluation and/or Dartfish Running Analysis.
There are two different services available to runners:
1. As a Patient: In the state of Ohio, potential patients have Direct Access to Physical Therapy services
which are covered by most insurance plans. If you have joint or muscle pain, you can be evaluated and treated
by a PT without requiring a physician referral. Your PT will perform a comprehensive musculoskeletal
evaluation, use Dartfish software to analyze your running form, develop an individualized home exercise
program, and utilize real-time video feedback during visits to correct impaired form. These services will
be billed to your insurance company.
2. As a Client: We are also offering a cash rate for potential clients who want their running form analyzed,
but do not need physical therapy. For $150 you receive a musculoskeletal screen, an extremely comprehensive
running analysis using Dartfish software, instruction in a personalized home exercise program to address any
deficits found, a follow up analysis, and personalized media book (CD).
Contact Kelley to get started.
