Instrumented Stairs
Bertec’s instrumented stairs are designed to measure ground reaction forces while ascending or descending stairs. Three of the four levels of stairs are instrumented with our patented strain gauge technology which allow the measurement of ground reaction force and moment as well as Center of Pressure (CoP).
Measure ground reaction forces
Assess mobility
Mobile stairs-on-wheels
Portable force plates easily detachable
Four levels of stairs
Use stand-alone
A one-of-a-kind solution
Measure ground reaction forces and assess mobility on customizable instrumented stairs. Because the stairs are on wheels and the force plates are easily detachable, the instrumented stairs have maximum portability. Use stand-alone force plates or add instrumented handrails to capture upper arm data as well.
Configuration
Three steps, 3 ft wide and 1 ft deep
Landing surface, 3 ft wide and 2 ft deep
Left and right handrails, 36.5 in height
Amplifiers with connecting cables
Options
Instrument one, two or three steps
Instrumented handrails available - each handrail outputs three components of force (Fx, Fy, Fz)
Specifications
Four levels of stairs of which three are instrumented
Portable force plates in the stairs can be easily detached and used stand-alone
Highly accurate 6-component load measurement from each plate (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
Stairs on wheels allow you to move the system with ease
Wheels can be retracted to lock the stairs in place
