The paper presents a preliminary study on a healthy female, performing back flexions, while standing on a force platform. The goal of the paper is to quantify how lumbar spine flexions influence the plantar center of pressure (CoP) distribution. Using Zebris CMS-HS ultrasound-based motion analysis system and FDM measuring system for force distribution the range of motion of lumbar spine flexion and CoP displacements during fully forward flexion were assessed simultaneously. Results showed a close symmetrical distribution of ground reaction forces on each subject foot.
