Force Plates: What are they and what insights do they …

A force plate is an instrument that allows coaches to detect and measure the force that is produced during physical exercise. Force plate data can be used to study the posture, power, and positions of athletes as they move.

Force Plates 101: What are they and why are they used?

force plates have since evolved into portable versions with increasingly automated analysis… This progression has made them accessible for everyday use in diverse settings across health and sport. A force plate is a platform equipped with sensors, typically piezoelectric or strain gauge.

Force Plate

Force platform, which is also known as force plate, is used to measure the GRF exerted by the ground on a body in contact with it. Force plates provide 3D GRF components, the center of pressure components defining the location of the force vector, and …

So what exactly is a force plate?

Force plates are tools used for the measurement of ground reaction forces during walking, jumping, or any other type of movement. Force plates use a one of several different types of sensors (load cells) to measure forces, and the corresponding values are typically presented in …

Force Plates

Bertec force plates are designed for gait, balance, and performance analyses. Our patented strain gauge technology, innovative transducer designs, and quality manufacturing help you capture the highly accurate data needed for your research.

Force plate: function and applications

A force plate is a measuring platform with a piezoelectric force sensor in every corner. Force plates can be used to characterize biomechanical processes such as walking, running or jumping, for example, for performance diagnostics in sport, for clinical analyses or in research.

Force platform

Force platforms or force plates are measuring instruments that measure the ground reaction forces generated by a body standing on or moving across them, to quantify balance, gait and other parameters of biomechanics.

Force Plates in Sport Explained

Force plates provide detailed data on force, velocity, power, and asymmetry, helping quantify athlete capacities, monitor fatigue, assess rehabilitation progress, and manage injury risk through tailored injury prevention programmes.

A Practical Guide for Using Force Plates in Elite Sports

Force platforms, also called force plates, are (typically metal) surfaces upon which athletes can perform a variety of movements. The plates are under-rigged by strain gauges or load cells that measure force and time at high-frequencies.

Go Direct® Force Plate

Designed for much greater forces than the Dual-Range Force or Go Direct Force and Acceleration sensors, the Go Direct Force Plate can measure the forces developed during stepping, jumping, and other human-scale actions.
