Main Results:

  • Both force plates and pressure walkways provide accurate and consistent kinetic data.
  • Kinematic data acquisition requires supplementary equipment for both systems.
  • Each system presents distinct advantages and disadvantages for data collection.

Conclusions:

  • The choice between force plates and pressure walkways depends on the specific kinetic and kinematic data desired.
  • Clinicians and researchers must weigh the pros and cons of each system for their application.
  • Both technologies are valuable tools in objective patient assessment and treatment evaluation.
