Escalating athletic competitiveness can be achieved only through continuously improved training methods. Accurate knowledge of take-off forces at ski jumps or in athletics and of force development involved in weightlifting or the martial arts helps to set records time and again.


Kistler offers a wide range of force plates to be used in research and sports.

Our sense of balance is the product of a complex control system. Kistler force plates can be used for precise monitoring of shifts in weight and for examination of the effects of diseases or medication.

Rehabilitation and prosthesis enhancement require very precise information on body movements, with the forces involved in walking and running playing a key role. Kistler force plates provide a precise and reliable record of these forces in every direction.

The new biomechanics brochure describes the Kistler industrial measuring systems for perform-ance diagnostics, gait and balance analysis in sports and medicine. It also outlines the most important applications and provides a brief explanation of the construction and func-tioning of piezoelectric detection. Clearly structured tables help the reader to determine the product suitability for his measuring task.
