Dual force plate apparatus

摘要

An apparatus for analyzing a golf swing or other biomechanical movement includes first and second rectangular force plate mounted within a respective first and second rigid rectangular frame by means of at least one load cell proximate each corner of each rectangular force plate. The second rigid rectangular frame being secured to the first rigid rectangular frame so as to prevent relative lateral movement therebetween, and each of the load cells is operably connected to one or more microprocessor devices for receiving a signal generated by each of the load cells indicative of a force applied thereto.

1. An apparatus for analyzing a golf swing or other biomechanical movement used repetitively in sports activity or simulated sports environmental activity setting, comprising:
a first rectangular force plate mounted within a first rigid rectangular frame by means of at least four load cells, with at least one load cell proximate each corner of the first rectangular force plate; and a second rectangular force plate mounted within a second rigid rectangular frame by means of at least four load cells, with at least one load cell proximate each corner of the first rectangular force plate, the second rigid rectangular frame being secured to the first rigid rectangular frame so as to prevent relative lateral movement therebetween; wherein each of the load cells is operably connected to one or more microprocessor devices for receiving a signal generated by each of the load cells indicative of a force applied thereto.
