Force Plate Testing

What Is Force Plate Testing?

Force plate testing uses specialized platforms that measure how much your body produces, absorbs, and transfers force when you move.

This includes jumping, landing, dynamic weight distribution, and generating power. The data gives us real insight into strength, symmetry, balance, and movement efficiency.

This information allows us to go beyond basic assessments. Instead of relying only on observation, we quantify deficits and track progress with precision as you move through your treatment plan. Force plate testing is especially valuable for athletes, active adults, and anyone returning to higher-level activity.

The Advantage of Objective Data

The biggest benefit of force plate testing is the clarity it provides. When addressing sports injuries, progressive loading and objective testing support better long-term outcomes. Force plate testing allows the Puro Physical Therapy team to follow these evidence-based return-to-sport best practices by removing guesswork and replacing it with measurable insight. This allows us to provide:

  • More precise programming tailored to your actual deficits
  • Safer progression through rehab phases
  • Reduced risk of returning to sport too soon 
  • Clear benchmarks that show real progress
  • Increased confidence in your movement and performance

Your program at Puro Physical Therapy is built around performance and progress. Force plate testing becomes a key checkpoint in that process. We use it to:

  • Establish a clear baseline at the start of care
  • Identify asymmetries between limbs
  • Monitor progress over time with measurable data
  • Guide exercise progression based on objective performance
  • Determine readiness for return to sport or activity

This approach keeps your plan focused, efficient, and aligned with your goals.
