The equine force plate is for use with horses, though it is sensitive enough to diagnose a child's step.
It measures 52cm ´ 62cm
´ 5cm and weighs ~25
kg. The plate itself is a 22 kg stainless steel slab.
It rests upon four of the eight sensors (located at each corner), and abuts against the other four (located within each side).
The placement of each sensor allows data to be gathered from all side dimensions and different vertical dimensions.
