APPLICATIONS

The JP4060 model Biomechanics Force Platform can be used for biomechanics, engineering, medical research, orthopedics, rehabilitation evaluation, prosthetics, and general industrial uses. Specific uses include gait analysis, “Romberg” testing or stability analysis, neurological analysis, prosthetics fitting, athletic performance, shoe design, and force, power, and work studies.

DESCRIPTION

The BIOFORCEN Biomechanics Force Platform model JP4060 was specifically designed for the precise measurement of ground reaction forces. The platform measures the three orthogonal force components along the X, Y, and Z axes, and the moments about the three axes, producing a total of six outputs. The high sensitivity, low crosstalk, excellent repeatability and long term stability of this platform makes it ideal for research and clinical studies. The JP4060 is easy to use and is available in 5,000 Newton vertical capacity.

AMPLIFICATION

The JP4060 Biomechanics Force Platform uses strain gages mounted on four precision strain elements in a patented design to measure forces and moments. As with most conventional strain gage transducers, bridge excitation and signal amplification are required. BIOFORCEN’s amplifier is high gain devices which provide excitation and amplification for multiple channels in one convenient package. The amplifier provides the six channels of amplification required by the force platform. These amplifiers process the platform signals and provide outputs suitable for an A/D converter so that the data can be stored and processed by a computer.

CALIBRATION

Each platform is inspected and tested in BIOFORCEN’s calibration facility. The calibration procedure provides a detailed sensitivity matrix and a complete test of all system components, including the amplifier and the connecting cable if ordered together.

SOFTWARE

Automated data collection and reduction requires a computer and software. BIOFORCEN-Analysis, BIOFORCEN’s software package, is specifically designed for biomechanics applications. It provides quick and easy hardware setup and automated data acquisition and analysis. BIOFORCEN-Analysis allows the user to quickly begin testing rather than take on the tedious and lengthy process of writing data acquisition and reduction routines. The BIOFORCEN-Analysis software package is available separately or combined in one of BIOFORCEN’s Bioforcen Systems.

BIOFORCEN’S BIOFORCEN SYSTEMS

Systems are complete gait and balance analysis force platform systems. Each system consists of force platform, amplifiers, cables, mounting hardware, A/D converter, and BIOFORCEN-Analysis analysis software, all sold at a special system price.
