 The output from a Bertec force plate includes the forces and moments acting at the point of contact where a load is applied. Force plates with a JMP or VP designation output three channels of data: one vertical force (Fz) and two moments (Mx, My). All other force plates output six channels of data, including forces and moments in three directions (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz). The output from a Bertec force plate includes the forces and moments acting at the point of contact where a load is applied.

 +Bertec's Split-Belt Treadmill **ITC-21-20 Standard Treadmill** 
 +
 +The left half of the treadmill uses a coordinate system with its origin located at the inner corner of the arm block. In this setup, the Y-axis points forward, the X-axis points to the left (outward from the treadmill), and the Z-axis points downward. 
 +
 +The right half of the treadmill also has its coordinate system origin at the inner corner of the arm block. However, in this case, while the Y-axis still points forward and the Z-axis points downward, the X-axis points to the left, which is toward the center of the treadmill.
 +
 +For integration with motion capture software, the treadmill should be defined as two separate force plates, each measuring 70 inches by 22 inches (177.8 cm × 55.9 cm), with a 0.125-inch (0.32 cm) gap between them.
