One common way to assess postural responses to dynamic balance tasks requires a movable force platform and a motion analysis system to measure center of pressure (COP) excursion and kinematic strategies. Such equipments although very accurate are expensive and not portable. In a recent study [1] we showed that we can obtain a good prediction of the COP by means of accelerometers during spontaneous body sway. We aim to develop here an accelerometrybased, general prediction model which can be used also during dynamic balance tasks.

Abstract
One common way to assess postural responses to dynamic balance tasks requires a movable force platform and a motion analysis system to measure center of pressure (COP) excursion and kinematic strategies. Such equipments although very accurate are expensive and not portable. In a recent study [1] we showed that we can obtain a good prediction of the COP by means of accelerometers during spontaneous body sway. We aim to develop here an accelerometrybased, general prediction model which can be used also during dynamic balance tasks.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
