Force plate analysis measures ground reaction forces generated by the body. The force plate has been clinically proven to quantify balance, gait, and other parameters of biomechanics and sports performance. Force plates are being used as measuring instruments for leading professional sport teams, such as the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. In measuring an athlete’s explosiveness, the force plate calculates acceleration, work, power output, jump angle, and jump distance. The data provided from the force plate can determine the torque, work, and power of each joint
