Gabriel Landeskog uses in-skate sensors, AI-driven movement platform to manage his knee and workload
Plantiga’s sensors track his stride and workload, helping the Avalanche captain avoid setbacks that could delay recovery for days or weeks.
- Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog wears Plantiga's small inertial sensors in his skate insoles and sneakers to collect continuous biomechanical data, using the AI-driven movement platform adopted across NBA, NFL, WNBA and MLB teams.
- A skate blade cut Landeskog's right knee during the 2020 playoffs in the Edmonton bubble; he helped the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup in 2022 before a three-year absence, undergoing cartilage replacement surgery on May 10, 2023.
- Plantiga's laboratory-grade IMU sensor captures 400 data points per second—20 to 30 times more granular than a smartphone—calculating workloads, stride characteristics and foot-surface mechanics while detecting biomechanical changes before they escalate.
- Before Plantiga, Landeskog relied on subjective feelings and would overexert himself saying 'I feel good today,' but the data now prevents overexertion that previously hindered recovery; this season he posted 14 goals and 35 points over 60 games.
- Landeskog returned after 1,032 days away and earned Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy recognition for perseverance; in the Western Conference Final against Vegas, where his team trails 3-0, he has two of the Avalanche's six goals.
