Abstract
The article presents the investigations on force measuring system designed for mechatronic Nordic Walking poles. The purpose of the work is to develop special Nordic Walking (NW) poles that would provide the basic kinematic and dynamic parameters of gait to perform investigation the effect of walking with NW poles in the rehabilitation. In particular, a dedicated measuring module is presented using resistance strain gauges, measuring circuit and the results obtained on a dedicated rig.
