FORCE & MEASURING PLATES

Force and Measuring Plates enable static and dynamic force distribution to be analysed under the feet while standing and walking. Force Plates identify strengths and weaknesses which can then help to create or tailor a training programme to individual needs, ensuring maximum performance gains.

HP Cosmos have created gait analysis with force plates in a running machine - the HP Cosmos Gaitway system. This treadmill measures vertical ground reaction forces and centre of pressure, for complete, consecutive foot strikes during walking and running.

The Zebris FDM-S Multifunction Force Measuring Plate system consists of a number of individually calibrated capacitive force sensors that enables an analysis of the distribution of static and dynamic forces under the feet during quiet standing and walking.
