The invention relates to a method for determining and displaying horizontal and vertical forces which act on a person when standing, in which method the person stands on two separate force measurement plates coupled to each other, wherein each foot is positioned on a respective force measurement plate, and the respective support point on the force measurement plate is determined via the force measurement plates, wherein a resulting force vector (FRR, FRL) is calculated from the respective support points of the two force measurement plates, from a known point of gravity of the body and from a vertical force distribution of the two force measurement plates relative to each other, and is displayed using a display device.
