The periphery of the disc engages the platform, and actuates platform switches whereby a patient standing upon the disc with one foot may angularly displace the disc in a nutating manner applying weight to the platform through the disc periphery, and recording apparatus in the form of computerized data and a visual display permits analysis of the application of weight to the platform. The disc may be selectively vertically adjustable relative to the platform to vary the analysis characteristics.
