The module has a piezoelectric force measuring device with a piezoelectric pressure sensor , angular sensor and acceleration sensor for measuring load of a walking support . A wireless transmission device transmits a measured value of the pressure sensor, angular sensor and the acceleration sensor to an evaluation device of a force measuring and processing system. A printed circuit board is electrically coupled with the pressure sensor for transmitting the measured value to the evaluating device, where the evaluating device is integrated into the walking support. An independent claim is also included for a force measuring and processing system comprising an evaluating device for evaluating a measured value transmitted by a force measuring module.
