Question 1

would it be able to measure the force of standing on it and any discrepencies between right and left leg or heel to forefoot difference?

Accepted Answer

Hello, this is not what this is deigned to do. Boy weight is too heavy for its scale of pressure and there is no inbuilt software function right to left pressure asymmetry. If you can program (python, C++, matlab and so on) it is quite possible you can isolate right and left and plot them independently. Not an easy thing to do, as I said this is not what this is deigned for. This is deigned for physics, psychophyics and general experimental purposes.

Question 2

Can this pressure sensor measure force when jogging on it?

Accepted Answer

I do not recommend jogging on the plate. The area on the force plate is 9.5" x 9.5" and could be dangerous to jog on top. Jumping on to the plate would be OK. But to try to jog onto this small area, is not recommended. Possibly building a area around the plate with rubber matts or other material may be an option.

Question 3

Can this be used for sports performance testing? Would it hold up to being used daily or weekly in a clinic or gym?

Accepted Answer

We use it daily in an automotive factory. If that helps any.

Question 4

I'm looking for a pressure sensor to measure kicking/punching force.  The force will be applied for less that 1s.  Will it work for this application?

Accepted Answer

With a data acquisition rate of 100 S/sec, I would think that it should not have a problem capturing that. I use mine for drop tests and it works great. Just make sure you have the USB interface module before you order this as it will not connect to the computer without this. The latest software can be downloaded from their site.
