Knowledge Base: Pairing and Calibrating GaitSens (Tablet Setup)

This article explains how to pair a tablet to a GaitSens-enabled treadmill and complete calibration. Use this when setting up a new tablet or after replacing a tablet/treadmill component.  Your screens may look different from these images, but the steps are the same.

Prerequisites

  • GaitSens-enabled treadmill powered ON.
  • Tablet charged and powered ON.
  • Tablet is within a few feet of the treadmill during pairing.
  • GaitSens app installed and available on the tablet.
  • Bluetooth enabled on the tablet (if required by your model/workflow).
  • Use only Mobility Research certified tablet.

Notes and Troubleshooting

  • Device not found: Confirm the treadmill is powered on, keep the tablet close, and retry pairing.
  • Pairing fails repeatedly: Turn Bluetooth off/on (if used), restart the tablet, then retry.
  • Connects but no data: Close and re-open the GaitSens app; confirm the correct treadmill/device was selected.
  • Calibration won’t complete: Restart the calibration workflow and carefully follow each on-screen prompt. If calibration still fails, confirm nothing is touching the treadmill, incline wheels are not touching the ground (if applicable) and the feet are adjusted to be similar lengths. If this does not resolve the issue, contact Mobility Research for assistance.
