=TgForce=
The TgForce measures just one thing; the peak [[Impact]] on your lower leg. While this is a far cry from the broad array of data gathered by devices like [[RunScribe]], TgForce may add some particularly valuable insight. Measuring the [[Impact]] that the foot can be a little misleading as the movement of your ankle can absorb a significant portion of that shock, so knowing how much of the force is transmitted to your lower leg may give a much better insight into injuries. The [[Impact]] that your lower leg (tibia) receives will be transmitted into your knee, so reducing that stress might be quite helpful. The companion app only runs on iOS devices, not android, which will limit the appeal for some, and unless you buy two devices, it will only measure one leg at a time. Even if you get two devices, it doesn't appear that the app readily supports this approach, unlike [[RunScribe]] that does a lot to provide side to side comparisons. That said, I really like to have real-time feedback, something that TgForce provides, either visually for use on a treadmill, or audibly outside. I've ordered a TgForce and my initial testing shows that the data from TgForce might be quite valuable, but there is a quality control problem and I've had several sensors fail. They have a fix and I should have a fully working sensor soon.
[[File:TgForce1.png|none|thumb|250px|This is the real time display, showing the [[Impact]] of each step (from one leg) in the bar graph, plus the current and average [[Impact]]. There are also metrics such as total steps and [{[Cadence]].]]
