Portable Force Plates Kinvent K-Force Plates A pair of portable platforms that measure vertical force under each foot and report how a load is shared between the two sides. Kinvent list a capacity of up to approximately 600 kg per platform, which is why the same pair records a quiet standing trial, a loaded squat and an isometric mid-thigh pull without swapping equipment. The plates are listed at 11.02 lbs and 19.69 x 5.91 x 15.75 in, so they move between a treatment room, a gym floor, a field session and a lab. Everything they record reads live in the Kinvent app, and the app writes the assessment report from the recorded session. Load capacity 600 kg Per platform, approx. Weight 11.02 lbs As Kinvent list it Dimensions 19.69" x 5.91" x 15.75" Game levels 10 Difficulty steps per game Center of pressure Weight distribution Isometric testing Kinvent app What The Plates Do Four Jobs, One Pair Of Platforms Kinvent group the plate protocols into balance work, dynamic movement, isometric strength and the software that records them. 🎯 Balance and postural control Bilateral and single-leg stance assessed under static conditions, with center of pressure and CoP velocity reporting how accurately posture is controlled. The confidence ellipse puts a number on postural sway magnitude, and the Romberg test compares eyes open against eyes closed to expose visual dependency. CoP, ellipse, Romberg 🏋️ Dynamic functional movement Squats, sit-to-stand and single-leg squats for the lower body, the push-up force test for the upper body, and the Bridge Hamstrings Test for the posterior chain. Each returns force production and weight distribution, so a movement a clinician used to watch now comes back as a left-against-right split. Up to 600 kg per plate 💪 Isometric strength testing IMTP, the ASH Test, the Isometric Bridge and the McCall Test all run on the plates. Results come back as maximum strength, as relative strength normalized to body weight, and as a Limb Symmetry Index so asymmetry is read as a ratio rather than an impression. IMTP, ASH, McCall 📊 Live feedback and reporting The Kinvent app carries real-time visualization and monitoring during the trial, then generates the assessment report automatically. The numbers on screen while the athlete is still on the plates are the numbers that land in the record, with no separate write-up step. Automatic reports What You Get Back The Numbers The Plates Report Every value below is one Kinvent name for this product. Where they publish no figure, this page says so rather than filling the gap. 📍 Center of Pressure Postural control accuracy over the trial ➰ CoP Velocity Speed of the pressure path ⭕ Confidence Ellipse Postural sway magnitude 👁️ Romberg Coefficient Eyes open against eyes closed ⚖️ Weight Distribution Left to right and tips to heels 💥 Maximum Strength Peak value for the test performed ⬇️ Ground Reaction Force Instantaneous maximal value ↔️ Limb Symmetry Index Asymmetry between the two sides 📐 Relative Strength Normalized to body weight Closer Look Four Ways The Plates Get Used Balance and posture Standing trials, bilateral and single leg One foot per platform gives the two-sided picture: the center of pressure path for the stance, the split between the tips and heels of the feet, and the percentage of body weight carried left against right. Stand on one leg and the same indicators come back for that side alone, which is what a return-to-sport conversation usually turns on. Bilateral and single-leg balance under static conditions Center of pressure and CoP velocity Confidence ellipse for postural sway magnitude Romberg test with eyes open and eyes closed Landing stability after a controlled landing Static balance Single leg Visual dependency Dynamic movement Squats, sit-to-stand, push-ups and bridges The capacity of roughly 600 kg per platform is what lets a loaded squat run on the same pair used for quiet stance. Force production and weight distribution are recorded through the movement, so a compensatory strategy that only appears under load has somewhere to show up. Squats, sit-to-stand and single-leg squats Push-up force test for the upper body Bridge Hamstrings Test for force production and maintenance Weight distribution read against the force of the movement Approximately 600 kg capacity per platform Loaded tasks Posterior chain Upper body Isometric testing IMTP and the isometric battery Four named isometric protocols run on the plates: the Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull, the ASH Test, the Isometric Bridge and the McCall Test. Maximum strength on its own says little across a squad, so the app also returns relative strength normalized to body weight and a Limb Symmetry Index for the asymmetry between sides. IMTP, Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull ASH Test and Isometric Bridge McCall Test Limb Symmetry Index for asymmetry analysis Relative strength normalized to body weight Max strength LSI Relative strength App exercises Games with a target taken from the assessment The Kinvent app carries games driven by live plate data. Each one takes a target expressed as a percentage of the maximum recorded during that person's own evaluation, so the number on screen is scaled to them rather than to a generic standard. Every game carries ten difficulty steps to work through. Target set as a percentage of the max evaluation Ten levels of difficulty in every game Proprioception exercises in bipedal and unipedal stance Shoulder-loaded work on the plates Run with or without belt straps for reduced weight loading Live biofeedback Adjustable target Belt strap option Where They Get Used Six Jobs Kinvent Put The Plates To Kinvent list clinics, rehabilitation centers, the field, gyms and laboratories as the settings, and physical therapists, sports performance staff, physicians, researchers and patients as the users. 🛡️ Injury prevention Screening balance, force production and side-to-side distribution before a problem shows up in training. 🩺 Rehabilitation monitoring Repeating the same protocol through a rehab block so progress is a number rather than a judgement call. 🔁 Return-to-sport decisions Single-leg trials, landing stability and the Limb Symmetry Index give the discharge conversation something to sit on. 🏆 Sports performance testing IMTP and the rest of the isometric battery, with relative strength normalized to body weight for squad comparison. 🔋 Neuromuscular fatigue detection Kinvent list fatigue detection among the applications, read against that athlete's own recorded baseline. ⚖️ Asymmetry identification Asymmetry and imbalance analysis, plus tracking of the compensatory strategies an athlete falls back on.

The list is theirs, published on their own product pages. HSS Hospital for Special Surgery Orthopedics and sports medicine MLB Major League Baseball Professional baseball NFL National Football League Professional football NBA National Basketball Association Professional basketball MLS Major League Soccer Professional soccer 🎓 Stanford University Collegiate athletics and research Questions Frequently Asked Questions What exactly do the K-Force Plates measure? + Vertical force under each foot, and everything Kinvent derive from it. That includes center of pressure and CoP velocity, the confidence ellipse for postural sway magnitude, the Romberg ratio, maximum strength, weight distribution, relative strength normalized to body weight and the Limb Symmetry Index. All of it reads in the Kinvent app. How much load will one platform take? + Kinvent publish a capacity of up to approximately 600 kg per platform. That is why the same pair handles a quiet standing trial and a loaded squat without swapping equipment. Kinvent give the number as an approximation and we publish it that way. What are the dimensions and the weight? + The listing gives 19.69" x 5.91" x 15.75" and 11.02 lbs. Kinvent do not state whether that mass covers one platform or the pair, so treat it as the figure they publish and confirm with us before planning a shipping weight around it. Do they publish a sampling rate or an accuracy figure? + No. Kinvent describe the plates as offering clinical accuracy and reproducibility, but they publish no sampling frequency and no measurement accuracy figure for this product. We will not quote a number they have not stated, and any figure published for the larger K-Deltas platforms belongs to that product alone. If you need a sampling rate in writing for a research protocol, ask us and we will put the question to Kinvent. Which balance tests do they support? + Kinvent name bilateral and single-leg balance under static conditions, the Romberg test with eyes open and eyes closed for visual dependency, center of pressure and CoP velocity, the confidence ellipse and landing stability, which evaluates the ability to absorb force and regain a stable posture after a controlled landing. Can they be used for isometric strength testing? + Yes. Kinvent list four isometric protocols on the plates: the IMTP (Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull), the ASH Test, the Isometric Bridge and the McCall Test. Output includes maximum strength, relative strength normalized to body weight, and Limb Symmetry Index asymmetry analysis. What movements beyond standing can be recorded? + Kinvent name squats, sit-to-stand and single-leg squats for the lower body, a push-up force test for the upper body, and the Bridge Hamstrings Test for the posterior chain, which assesses force production and force maintenance during a dynamic task. Force production and weight distribution are recorded for each. How do the games in the app work? + Each game is driven by live plate data and aimed at a target. The target is set as a percentage of the maximum recorded during the evaluation, so it is scaled to that individual's own result, and each game carries ten levels of difficulty. These are software features of the Kinvent app. What are the belt straps for? + Plate work can be run with or without belt straps, the strapped version being for reduced weight loading. Both variants are recorded through the same plates and read in the same app. Does the app write the report, or do I? + The Kinvent app does. It carries real-time visualization and monitoring during the trial and automatic generation of your reports and assessments afterwards. What appears on screen while the athlete is on the plates is the same data that ends up in the record. Do they work alongside the other Kinvent sensors? + Yes. Kinvent list compatibility with K-Push, K-Pull, K-Power, K-Myo and K-Move, all running through the Kinvent app. One session can therefore hold a plate trial and a K-Push or K-Move measurement under the same profile. Do the frames come with the plates? + Kinvent list force plate frames as their own item, both standalone and in a version supplied with K-Force Plates. They publish no package contents list for the plates themselves, so we do not state what ships in the box. Ask us before ordering if you need the frames included and we will confirm the configuration. Who is actually using them? + Kinvent name physical therapists, sports performance professionals, physicians, researchers and patients as the users, across clinics, rehabilitation centers, the field, gyms and laboratories. The portability is the reason the same pair covers more than one of those settings. How do these compare to the K-Deltas and the 3D Deltas? + The K-Force Plates are the portable, vertical-force option, built around balance, functional movement and isometric testing. The K-Deltas use a larger plate surface for dynamic force, symmetry and jump analysis, and the 3D Deltas capture force on multiple axes for postural and gait analysis. Those are the differences Kinvent publish, so those are the only ones stated here. Is any regulatory status stated for this device? + Kinvent publish CE marking, FDA registration, ISO 13485, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 27001:2022, HDS and HIPAA compliance at company and platform level. Those cover the company, its medical device quality system and its data handling. They are not a performance claim about these plates, and for class or registration questions in your territory, contact Kinvent or ask us and we will put the question to them in writing. document.querySelectorAll('.product-pdp .faq-item button').forEach(btn => { btn.addEventListener('click', () => { const item = btn.closest('.faq-item'); const answer = item.querySelector('.faq-answer'); item.classList.toggle('active'); answer.classList.toggle('open'); }); }); Show more
