Description;
Force platform is a platform used to quantify the ground reaction forces exerted on it. It is widely for gait analysis, rehabilitation, anomalies detection, etc. This paper presents the design and construction of two similar platforms. The design focuses on improvement of the existing force platform developed at Monash University Sunway Campus. Each platform has a dimension of 480mm x 540mm x 15mm and consists of 144 force sensitive resistor (FSR). These two force platforms can be combined into one to provide a larger movement area for test subjects. Furthermore, several experiments are conducted to monitor the force distribution on human feet in several activities.
