ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a weight scale having a balance control system that detects unequal load distribution to the scale's load sensors and produces an output signal that enables the user to re-distribute weight until a predetermined level of balance is achieved. Various load sensors are positioned in an array in the scale and are in communication with a controller that receives signals from the sensors indicative of relative load applied to each sensor. The controller generates a signal that is displayed or emitted to the user indicative of the position of the user's center of gravity relative to the sensors.
