Bilateral reaction force and standing balance measurement system for measuring reaction forces on the support and the point of load application.
Sport, Health and Ergonomics
It is used to measure ground reaction forces resulting from the interaction between the body (feet or hands) and the support. It also records the point of application of the reaction force, which can be used to analyse balance and postural control.
In sport, this tool is used to improve movement efficacy; in healthcare, it is used to diagnose neurological diseases and diseases of the locomotor system, and also to assist with recuperation and rehabilitation from such diseases.
This tool is the gold standard in biomechanics as a means of studying reaction forces on the support. It is a technique that is used in both sport and healthcare.
