Bertec Force Platforms
Force plates embedded flush within the laboratory floor, commonly used for clinical and research gait analysis or sports applications.
Their configuration is optimised for measuring forces at the foot during walking, however they can be moved within the floor to a large range of configurations to suit the research application.
