Force Plate Assessment

As some of may already be aware, we have recently acquired some new toys! We are now the proud owners of a set of Meloq EasyBase Force Plates!

​

EasyBase is a medical-grade, bipedal force plate system carefully engineered to meet the needs of modern clinicians, rehabilitation specialists, sports experts, and athletic coaches. Force plate technology provides objective data that enhances treatment design and allows for the tracking of progress, ensuring evidence-based practice across various rehabilitation disciplines.

​

In the general population and orthopaedic physiotherapy, force plates help assess and monitor recovery by quantifying improvements in balance and movement patterns post-injury or surgery. In sports physiotherapy, they enable detailed biomechanical analysis to detect asymmetries or inbalances, optimise athletic performance, and tailor rehabilitation programs based on precise force data. For elderly care, force plates are instrumental in evaluating postural stability and sway, guiding interventions to enhance safety and mobility. In occupational therapy, these devices assist in analysing functional movements and ergonomics, leading to interventions that improve workplace performance and reduce injury risk.
