The tonic postural system guarantees the stability of the human body in upright stance and during locomotion. It is considered as a complex organization which involves several internal systems and has multiple sources of information. In this paper, we provide a review of techniques and materials for human stability assessment. The primary tools to record and evaluate human sways in static posture...
Fall-related injuries, disabilities, and fatalities are known to seriously affect the healthcare and industry sectors. Nevertheless, an abled individual, as well as a trained senior citizen, is believed to be capable of withstanding and overcoming unusual environmental variations in terms of postural stability and balance. Understanding the biomechanics of fall and fall recovery through quantitative...
Motions of the center of body mass (COM) and body segment acceleration signals are commonly used to indicate movement performance and stability during standing activities. The COM trajectory is usually calculated by video motion analysis, which has a time consuming setup and also is not readily available in all clinical settings. In this paper, we present a novel method to estimate the COM trajectory...
