In the field of biomechanics, Kistler measuring platforms have been setting the standard for the last 25 years. The platforms incorporate piezoelectric force sensors to measure the forces exerted between foot and floor in walking, standing, running, jumping and sliding, offering a unique system which permits an ultra-precise recording of these forces in real time.

For the analysis of the sensor signals, Kistler offers BioWare®, a programme which has been specially designed for the requirements of biomechanics to supply a wealth of information on force and direction, the resulting force, centre of pressure, torque, performance and energy

Typical applications of Kistler measuring platforms in research and clinical studies include: gait analysis in orthopaedics, prosthetics and rehabilitation balance analysis in neurology, psychology, pharmacy and orthopaedics.

And in the domain of sport: performance analysis and muscle load ergonomic improvements in the development of shoes and floor coverings.

Kistler has vast experience in finding solutions to specific problems of all kinds in the field of biomechanics and this is an area in which our experts will be happy to work with you.
