An objective measurement enables the visualization of the progress in time.
Those mea-
surements are indispensable to the therapist and the patient. Furthemore, the quantifica-
tion enables the patient motivation, and his active participation in the process of rehabilita-
tion.

KFORCE App : General use
KFORCE App can be downloaded on Google Play Store and the l'App Store
KFORCE is compatible starting at Android 5.0+ and 10.0+.
KFORCE has been especially designed for rehabilitation and sports in order to put in place objective
assessment in a few clicks and to individualize rehabilitation and sports assessment in accordance with each
patient’s capacities.
The features are continuously enriched by updates and innovative accessories.
Patient creation in the database Selection of activity, progress and calendar
Measurement parameters Biofeedback
Progress and reporting Fun and customisable rehab-gaming
KFORCE App : Assessment
From the assessment selection up to the visualization of results coming through measurement, the K-FORCE
app helps you obtain quantifiable measurement and a qualified follow-up.
Activity Selection
The activities are filtered according to their nature (assessment, gaming, exercising) body part and hardware
used.
Measurement interface and results for the assessment of Max isometric force of the quadriceps with the Link
Those assesments, obtained by the connected measurement KFORCE instruments, enable muscular
strength assessment, balance and movement amplitude.
Center of pressure analysis and weight distribution in a postural assessment
KFORCE Plates enable ground reaction forces , in blue for the right limb et in orange for the left limb. The
black curve constitutes the total ground reaction force.
The app enables weight distribution analysis according to ground reaction forces intensity (high, normal, low).
Dynamic analysis of squats
KFORCE App : Advanced progress follow up
The deficit percentage
enables the quantification of
the difference between
strong and week limb. You
can visualize this percentage
on the orange area of this
image.
Deficit percentage between week and strong limb
When a muscle group is associated with an
antagonist group, you can compare the
maximum strength of the one relative to the
other directly on the same graph. In the
opposite image, the muscular group
consulted are the quadriceps (evolutions of
the max force visible in continuous lines),
the antagonist group are the hamstrings
(evolutions of the max force visible in
dashed lines).
Superposition of graphics of antagonist muscle
groups
The display of the ratios between
antagonistic muscle groups makes it
possible to visualize whether the
maximal forces between two opposing
muscles are considered normal or
pathological.
Antagonist ratio screen
KFORCE App : Training and rehab-gaming
Once the assessment is done, offer to patients some fun work with a rehab target.
Personnalisation based on a max percentage
Personalize rehabilitation of patients thanks to different interfaces of work proposed by
KFORCE.
The existing interfaces enable training in a rep or isometry format, implying a continuous
contraction.
Reps interface on the left and isometry work on the right
Rehab-gaming enables fun and targeted training with a level system targeting 10 sessions.
Gaming interface for the Plates and other devices

KFORCE App : Activity Creation
Personalize, standardize and express your creativity by creating your own assessments or
rehab exercising by filling the template data (Description, device, Interface, Anatomy).
Différentes stages of the template of activity creation
KFORCE App : Protocols
Save time with custom protocols. The protocols allow the automatic succession of preprogrammed activities
using different sensors. They can be used as part of a balance sheet or as part of a targeted work with exercises
and games.
The "Protocols" feature makes it possible to use turnkey protocols developed by our physiotherapists. The
"Create Protocols" feature allows you to create your own fully customized sequence.
As part of a balance sheet, the "Protocols" feature allows you to view results from different sensors (strength,
amplitude, balance) on the same reporting sheet.
Selection, configuration and results in protocol sessions
KFORCE App: Jump analysis
Multiply the possibilities of your KFORCE Plates by using them as jumping platforms to analyze the biome-
chanics of the sporting patient during his impulse and to follow the evolution of his vertical relaxation.
The analysis gives results on the jump height, as well as information on the distribution of the maximum
thrust, the explosiveness, the impulse.
For dynamic movements and more particular-
ly for the jump analysis it is strongly discoura-
ged not to use the Jump Frame which allows
to create a surface of identical height and to
maintain the Plates.
KFORCE App : Nordic Hamstring Test
Evaluate your athletes on the Nordic Hamstring Test to obtain data on the maximum hamstring strength and
to quantify the Left / Right deficit.
