the present invention is directed to a weight scale having a balance control system that detects unequal load distribution to the scale &# 39 ; 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 &# 39 ; s center of gravity relative to the sensors .
