A Comparison of Gait Parameters and Movement Variability Between Dribbles with an Activator Belt and Submaximal Strides

By Stuart McMillan, Patrick Wilson, Dan Pfaff, and Dr. Matt Jordan

What role does task design play in return-to-play strategy?

This inaugural case study from the ALTIS Living Lab examines how movement is shaped under different sprint conditions during rehabilitation. Using wearable technology to track an elite sprinter recovering from a minor shin injury, the team compared Activator Belt dribbles to submaximal strides—revealing how constraint-based drills can influence asymmetry, variability, and overall movement control in a real-world setting.

What You’ll See Inside:

  • A data-driven comparison of braking and propulsion acceleration under two task conditions

  • Movement maps visualizing foot-level variability in six planes of motion

  • Real-world insight into asymmetry trends and control strategies during early return-to-play

  • Practical implications for designing sprint-based rehab protocols with task specificity

Collected using Plantiga’s in-shoe sensors, and authored by a team at the forefront of applied sport science, this is the first known case study to visualize movement variability during sprinting with wearable tech in a live field setting.
