Force ??and pressure measurement systems

3D Force pl?ates

Bertec instrumented treadmill:

  • Housed at the Stellenbosch laboratory (permanently)
  • Research grade GRF data at rates of up to 3000 Hz
  • Incline adjustable (up to 15 degrees)
  • Top speed of 24km/h
  • Safety harness available
  • Dual belt enables forces to be measured on feet individually
  • Belts can be controlled individually to retrain or simulate asymmetric gait or perturb balance

 

Bertec floor-imbedded force plate system:

  • Research grade GRF data at rates of up to 3000 Hz
  • Triple-plate configuration enables capturing of both double support periods during the stance phase of gait (crucial for advanced biomechanical modelling)
  • Large middle plate (model: FP6090-15) and two peripheral plates (model: FP4060PT)
  • The two peripheral plates are portable and can be used outside of the laboratory
