What are the primary applications – balance, gait analysis, sports, etc.?
Are you working with children, adults, people with disabilities, animals, etc.?
Should the system be portable or permanently mounted?
Should the system be floor-mounted or installed within a specially-made recess?
Are there any limitations to the space? i.e. size, whether the space isn’t on the ground level, etc.
What size working surface or top plate will best suit the application?
Will the force platform need to be covered?
How you need the platform configuration? Does it need to be in line, staggered, or in variable positions?
What capacity do you require the platform to be? What is the highest load you plan to apply to the platform?
What is the optimum capacity and sensitivity for the platform?
What layout or mounting configurations are required to capture the reaction forces and moments generated throughout the activity?
