Force plates measure vertical ground reaction forces (GRFs) applied by gait during walking. A force platform can be integrated under the moving belt of a treadmill or under the entire treadmill [31]. Force platforms are expensive and have some limitations as the plates are installed within a short space and need to remain stationary. These make their applications in free space difficult. Nevertheless, there are force or pressure sensors that can be accommodated inside or under shoes to monitor the walking steps of humans or help correct the posture of athletes.
