If you click the link I included, you can click around for info on it. But basically it means that the tire is subjected to a compression force while being spun, to simulate how the tire will perform on the road. A regular balance, the wheel and tire are just spun with no sidewall compression, etc.
A road force balance just kicks it up another notch, and can compensate some for sidewall variations, etc. Though much of it probably depends on the guy using the balancer (much like any tool).
