Dear collegues,
I want to do GRF measurements of jumping horses using a force plate. For
several reasons I want to cover the force plate with sand. Does anybody
know if this influences my measurements? I understand that the GRF on sand
will be different from the GRF on other surfaces. However I wonder whether
the GRF measurements are still accurate: do they represent the force
between sand and hoof, or does the sand influence these measurements?
Furthermore, will this be any different when I cover the force plate with a
rubber mat.
Thanks,
Liduin Meershoek
