Choose the right force plates for your practice?
Force plates have become essential tools for physical therapists, clinicians, sports performance professionals and researchers who want to assess movement with objective data.
At Kinvent, we offer three types of force plates, each designed for specific goals and levels of analysis: K-Force Plates, K-Deltas and 3D Deltas.
What can you assess ?
K-Force Plates are ideal for rehabilitation, balance assessment and functional testing. They help measure asymmetries, load distribution and force data through simple, efficient protocols for everyday practice.
- Balance and postural control
- Weight-bearing asymmetry
- Functional tests
- Clinics and professionals looking for a broad range of essential tests
K-Deltas are designed for professionals focused on vertical jump analysis. Ideal for assessing explosive strength, jump strategy and asymmetries in sports performance and return-to-sport settings.
- Vertical jump analysis
- Explosive strength profiling
- Athlete and patient monitoring
- Clinics, performance centers and sports teams
3D Deltas are the most advanced option for multi-directional movement analysis. In addition to vertical jump testing, they are ideal for assessing lateral jumps, horizontal jumps and change-of-direction movements.
- Advanced jump analysis
- Lateral and horizontal force assessment
- Change-of-direction evaluation
- High-level sports performance
- Experts who need the deepest movement insights

How to choose the right force plates?
K-Force Plates: Choose K-Force Plates if you want a versatile solution for rehabilitation, functional testing, postural assessment and asymmetry tracking.
Large K-Deltas Force Plates: Choose K-Deltas if your priority is jump testing, explosive performance and athlete monitoring.
K-Deltas XL: Choose K-Deltas XL, if you need the the same testing approach and benefits as K-Deltas, but with a larger surface area.
3D Deltas: Choose 3D Deltas if you want the most advanced solution for multi-directional force analysis, advanced jump testing and change-of-direction assessment.
Why Use Force Plates?
Force plates have become essential tools for physical therapists, clinicians, sports performance professionals and researchers who want to assess movement with objective data.
If your main goal is to assess balance, weight distribution, strength asymmetries and functional tasks, K-Force Plates are a strong entry point. If you want to go further into jump testing and explosive performance analysis, K-Deltas offer more possibilities. And if you need the most advanced solution for dynamic jump analysis, lateral and horizontal movements, or change-of-direction assessments, 3D Deltas are the most complete option.
