Reaction force measuring plate and reaction force measuring system

Abstract

The present invention relates to a reaction force measuring plate (1) for detecting the distribution of ground reaction forces across the ground contact area of the foot of a hoofed animal or the foot of a human being when it strikes the ground, comprising a preferably rigid carrier plate (3) with a first surface area (3a) facing the ground during use and an opposite second surface area (3b) facing the hoof or foot, or vice versa, a plurality of flat force measuring sensors (5) fixed in position on the first surface area (3a) of the carrier plate (3), a force transmission surface element (11), preferably elastomeric, which is fixed in position to the force measuring sensors (5) parallel to the carrier plate (3) and facing away from the first surface area (3a), and a plurality of elastic force transmission studs (7), in particular a plurality corresponding to the plurality of force measuring sensors, which are fixed to the free surface of the force transmission surface element (11) directly opposite exactly one of the force measuring sensors (5).
