Postural control is often quantified by recording the trajectory of the center of pressure (COP)—
also called stabilogram—during human quiet standing. This quantification has many …

Evolution has endowed all humans with a continuum of innate, hard-wired, automatically
activated defense behaviors, termed the defense cascade. Arousal is the first step in …

Introduction: The present review aims to provide an overview of the most common uses of
wearable inertial sensors in the field of clinical human movement analysis. Areas covered …

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) have a long-lasting popularity in a variety of industrial
applications from navigation systems to guidance and robotics. Their use in clinical practice …

Searching for an optimal feature subset from a high dimensional feature space is known to
be an NP-complete problem. We present a hybrid algorithm, SAGA, for this task. SAGA …

Background Clinicians need a practical, objective test of postural control that is sensitive to
mild neurological disease, shows experimental and clinical validity, and has good test-retest …

This study shows that center-of-pressure (COP) traces that closely resemble physiologically
measured COP functions can be produced by an appropriate selection of model parameters …

While several studies have shown that subjects with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD)
exhibit abnormalities in sway parameters during quiet standing, abnormalities of postural …

Balance and gait impairments characterize the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD),
predict the risk of falling, and are important contributors to reduced quality of life. Advances …

A well-performed demand forecasting can provide outpatient department (OPD) managers
with essential information for staff scheduling and rostering, considering the non-reservation …
