Kineura

Kineura's mission is to put the power of the biomechanics lab in every athlete's hands. We build wearable neuromuscular technology that translates real-time muscle activation data into clear, actionable injury-risk insights, empowering athletes to train proactively, reduce preventable setbacks, and sustain the progress that makes sport meaningful. By bridging the gap between lab-grade biomechanics and everyday training environments, we are creating a new category of performance intelligence that helps athletes train smarter, recover faster, and reach their potential.

Musculoskeletal injuries are the defining obstacle in a runner's life. Overuse injuries — stress fractures, hamstring strains, IT band syndrome, Achilles tendinopathy — sideline runners at every level, often repeatedly. Yet despite how common and costly these injuries are, runners today have no reliable way to see them coming. Existing wearables track heart rate, pace, and GPS — but none measure what's actually happening inside the muscles driving every stride. The tools that do capture muscle data haven't solved this problem either. Devices like Athos and Myontec proved that EMG can be captured at scale, but where the category has struggled is converting raw activation signals into reliable, context-aware decisions. Their data was broad, hard to interpret, and not built around the specific demands of any one sport or movement pattern. Athletes were left with dashboards full of numbers and no clear path to action. Kineura is built differently — from the ground up, starting with runners. We embed dry electromyography sensors into a running sleeve that captures real-time muscle activation during every run. But the hardware is only the beginning. What separates Kineura is how we interpret that data. Rather than flooding users with raw EMG readouts, our system anchors muscle signals to movement phase and running context — understanding not just that a muscle fired, but when in the gait cycle it fired, how that compares to the athlete's personal baseline, and what it means for fatigue and injury risk. A large language model synthesizes this into plain-language, decision-ready insights: not just numbers, but guidance an athlete can actually act on. We also obsess over data quality in a way our predecessors did not. We start with non-textile electrodes to prioritize signal reliability over aesthetics, because we believe the only EMG product worth building is one that's scientifically defensible. Every metric we surface is research-backed. We would rather launch slowly with trustworthy data than rush a product that erodes confidence in the category. Our business model reflects that same commitment to longevity. At $30 per month — with electrode and sleeve replacements included — athletes never worry about hardware degradation or hidden costs. The subscription is designed so that Kineura stays in the picture across an entire training season and beyond, continuously collecting the longitudinal data that makes our insights smarter over time. Runners are our entry point because the need is highest and the feedback loop is tightest — they train consistently, care deeply about staying healthy, and are underserved by every product on the market today. But the underlying technology translates across sport and movement. Runners are where we prove the model; every other athlete is where we go next. Kineura exists because athletes deserve to know what's happening in their bodies before injury forces the answer.
