HPS464508

OPTIMA^TM-High Performance Series (HPS)
Previous MN: OPT464508

The HPS464508 is part of AMTI’s High Performance Series (HPS), the most advanced, most accurate force platform system available. This 46×51 cm platform is an industry “standard size” for adult and pediatric gait studies and is used in hundreds of labs around the world. Popularized for gait analysis, this multi-axis mounted force platform can be used for most anything from adult or adolescent human balance testing, to canine gait applications.
