Quantitative assessment is crucial for the evaluation of human postural balance. The force
plate system is the key quantitative balance assessment method. The purpose of this study …

Control of balance is complex and involves maintaining postures, facilitating movement, and
recovering equilibrium. Balance control consists of controlling the body center of mass over …

Clinically feasible methods of assessing postural control such as timed standing balance
and functional reach tests provide important information, however, they cannot accurately …

The use of force platform technologies to assess standing balance is common across a
range of clinical areas. Numerous researchers have evaluated the low-cost Wii Balance …

Abstract Background Approximate entropy (ApEn) and sample entropy (SampEn) have been
previously used to quantify the regularity in centre of pressure (COP) time-series in different …

It has become almost routine practice to incorporate balance exercises into training
programs for athletes from different sports. However, the type of training that is most efficient …

In the study of balance and postural control the (Single) Inverted Pendulum model (SIP) has
been taken for a long time as an acceptable paradigm, with the implicit assumption that only …

Maintaining and controlling postural balance is important for activities of daily living, with
poor postural balance being predictive of future falls. This study investigated eyes open and …

Objective fall-related injuries constitute major health risks in older individuals, and these
risks are projected to increase in parallel with increasing human longevity. Impaired postural …

Human walking has previously been described as “controlled falling.” Some computational
models, however, suggest that gait may also have self-stabilizing aspects requiring little …
