If you’re in the Bolton area and looking to achieve your full athletic potential, or recover from injury, force plate analysis with Injury Mechanics is the perfect service for you. Force plate testing allows us to create bespoke exercise plans based on your movement patterns and pressure points.
What is Force Plate Testing?
Force plate testing uses highly accurate platforms which have sensors built in to detect your ground reaction forces, or ‘GRFs,’ allowing analysis of your athletic abilities. This allows our team of Bolton-based specialists to develop the approach to your treatment, allowing for painless injury rehabilitation, alongside improving athletic performance using data.
Our next level testing force plate testing space produces results (accurate to the closest 1% up to 12,000N or 1,224kg) of force measurement. This enables us to carry out medically-backed tests of your athletic abilities, such as your reactive strength and rate of force development.
What to expect during force plate testing
Force plate testing is an evidence-backed approach which assists you in reaching personal goals and/or recovering from injury in a controlled manner.
Before we start with the physical tests, we discuss personal goals and problems reaching them with our clients, to determine how force plate testing can help you reach them. A brief warmup will typically involve light cardio or stretching to prepare your body for our tests. We may also recommend other services which could be beneficial for your injury recovery.
A force plate test itself involves some simple exercises, including balance tests, jumps, lunges and more, designed to mimic daily activities or sports. Our top of the range, ‘Meloq systems’ are data collecting machines which allow us to store and analyse data quickly and effectively.
Providing an immediate ‘patient report’ allows us to outline all the important metrics and findings which can be used to improve techniques moving forward.

How long does force plate testing take?
Force plate testing timings depend on the complexity of the required tests. More basic tests could take around 20-30 minutes to complete, and at least an hour when you include the following report, discussion and action plan.
To determine just how long your force plate testing and analysis session should take, please get in contact with us for a preliminary discussion.
What do force plates measure?
Force plates measure ground reaction forces (GRF) exerted from your movements. Through finely tuned sensors, these plates measure 3D forces for biomechanical analysis, tracking your balance, postural control and centre of pressure (CoP).
This enables us to analyse where force is applied during exercise, and whether improvements can be made to movement patterns to optimise performance and improve recovery.
