What it is about
Hardware
The system consists of 2 P-6000 triaxial force plates and 2 PTZ color cameras.
The P-6000 force plates record the 3 components of the ground reaction force, the coordinates of the Centre of Pressure (COP) and the torque. The software returns in real time the image taken by the cameras with the superimposition of the force vectors and joint angles.
Software
EVO-Capture is a comprehensive software that controls all BTS family devices in the lab ensuring a perfect synchronization. Developed with a focus on ease of use, this design ensures a seamless experience for users of all backgrounds. It allows for multifactorial analysis of acquired biomechanical data provide a wide library of analysis protocols each complete of automatic and easy-to-read report.
Biofeedback
Thanks to the augmented reality, PODIUM makes the force vector recorded by the platforms visible in real-time. This allows a visual and immediate assessment of the force exerted during the athlete’s contact with the ground in terms of intensity and direction, checking for any overexertion of the joint centres during the phases of the movement analysed. Thanks to this realtime video feedback the athlete can understand how their performance changes in relation to posture, power and movement expressed.
Analysis protocols
PODIUM is equipped with a library of analysis protocols that allow to evaluate the symmetry and strength of the athlete in static and dynamic conditions in a few minutes. Each protocol provides an easy-to-read report containing graphs and space-time parameters, as well as the distribution of forces during specific motor tasks.

Add-on
Technological support for motor functions assessment
The P-6000 force plates measure the 3 components of the ground reaction force, the coordinates of the Centre of Pressure (COP) and the torque. The software processes these inputs and provides real-time images captured by the cameras, with superimposed force vectors and joint angles.
Using augmented reality, PODIUM makes the force vectors recorded by the platforms visible in real-time.
This feature enables an immediate visual assessment of the force exerted during the athlete’s ground contact, detailing the intensity and direction.
It also helps in identifying any overexertion of the joint centers during movement phases.
Another feature concerns the analysis of the angles of the main joints in real time, allowing a complete 3D kinematic analysis through the software.
This setup allows athletes to understand how their performance varies with changes in posture, power, and movement.
