A comparison of two techniques for center of pressure measurements [PDF]
Introduction Force platforms and pressure-measuring insoles are the most common tools used for measuring center of pressure. Earlier studies to assess these instruments suffered from limited sample sizes or an inadequate range of participant foot sizes.

A Velostat-Based Pressure-Sensitive Mat for Center-of-Pressure Measurements: A Preliminary Study [PDF]
Center-of-pressure (CoP) displacements play a key role in studies assessing postural stability. The accepted instrument to measure CoP trajectories is the force platform, but pressure-sensitive mats (PSMs) are an alternative composed of a matrix of sensitive cells. A typical cell comprises two electrodes with piezoresistive material in between, while a

Postural Stability Changes During the 4 Phases of the Half Squat: Kinematics Profile of the Center of Pressure and Center of Mass in High-Performance Weightlifters—A Pilot Study [PDF]
This study investigated balance control during the half squat by analyzing the relationship between the center of mass (CoM) and the center of pressure (CoP) in five experienced male weightlifters performing segmented squats at five load levels (20–80% 1

Circular Components in Center of Pressure Signals
Static posturography provides an objective assessment of postural control by characterizing the body sway during upright standing. The center of pressure (COP) signal is recorded by a force platform, and it is analyzed by means of many different models and techniques.
