The quantification of postural sway during the unipedal stance test is one of the essentials of posturography. A shift of center of pressure (CoP) is an indirect measure of postural sway and also a measure of a person's ability to maintain balance. A widely used method in laboratory settings to calculate the sway of body center of mass (CoM) is through an ellipse that encloses 95% of CoP trajectory...
For elderly it is more likely to fall and a fall can lead to severe injuries. Furthermore there is an ongoing discussion, if manual methods without any sensing and computing hardware or automated methods with the support of sensors and computing hardware are better in classifying elderly in regard of their risk to fall. Beside of these discussions, new sensing hardware allows the improvement of existing...
An abled individual is believed to be capable of withstanding and overcoming the severe tremors of an earthquake as has been ascertained in a previous study. However, the event-related physiological mechanisms of human postural stability during an earthquake are subject to further investigation. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to further characterize postural stability in a simulated environment...
