KINETIC AND KINEMATIC MEASURING DEVICE FOR HORIZONTAL PUSH ACTIONS
ES1263289 U
The present invention can be included in the technical field of devices for measuring kinetic and kinematic variables in efforts related to athletic performance and/or human health. More specifically, the object of the present invention is a device capable of simultaneously measuring kinetic and kinematic variables during a multi-joint action of the lower limbs (hip, knee, and ankle extension or squat) by means of a horizontal push and therefore in the absence of external overload, not even that equivalent to body mass.
The system allows the measurement of kinetic variables (force and its derivatives) and kinematic variables (displacement and its derivatives) during actions and movements performed by a person in a horizontal direction, thus minimizing the effect of gravity on the movement (in a weight-bearing state). Its design and components result in a relatively small size and weight, allowing its use in both open and closed spaces, as well as easy transport and storage.
