The Institut Català del Peu signs a collaboration agreement with the running club and triathlon Proam. This agreement, is besides, part of an overall collaboration with the Ephion Health company. The collaboration agreement carried out with the Proam Club consists of a bidirectional synergy in which the Institut Català del Peu and Ephion Health will be able to achieve biomechanical data of runners of the Proam Club and for the Proam Club, this collaboration can be very important because we can find in the results of the biomechanical assessment, the causes which cause the disorders to runners. The main goal by which this collaboration initiates is due to the need we have in this moment of carrying out tests to many runners who have similar problems in order to be able to proceed with the validation of Ephion Health technology in different contexts of a commencement of a lesion in sport, that is, when the sportsman/sportswoman has upsets, in this case, very specific upsets of the runner. The way of carrying out this validation, is through the comparative of the data from the Ephion Health technology, regarding the Vicon technology, which the Institut Català del Peu has at its disposal, because the Vicon system is one of the most qualified in the market, in order to carry out this kind of validations of a scientific nature. Therefore, the agreement is a collaboration with the Proam Club, which steers us to their sportsmen/sportswomen, specifically, to those ones who fulfill a series of features, like for example, those ones who have upsets which prevent them running normally but, currently, without a diagnosed lesion. The runner will have the opportunity to know if the upsets he/she suffers are related to a muscular aspect or due to his/her technique. It is about a collaboration where all of us are contributing a lot of value to the sportsman/sportswoman. The premise of the Institut Català del Peu, of Ephion Health and the Proam Club is to give a quality service and a high value proposal to the sportsman/sportswoman, with a lot of involvement by the professionals.
