The Turning Point for Maintaining Balance

Aasen T, Nordahl SHG, Goplen FK and Knapstad MK

Background: A method for detecting the critical time frame for reacting to postural sway in order to maintain balance has been previously proposed. However, this method requires subjective assessment, which reduces cost-efficiency and could introduce bias. In this article, we present a simple and robust algorithm to estimate the time window length, the turning point, during which the regulating functions for maintaining the upright position come into action.

Methods: Postural sway was measured using a static balance platform across four conditions (eyes open/closed, standing on bare platform/rubber foam) in a group of healthy subjects and a group of patients suffering from dizziness. The Hurst exponent is a measure of long-term memory of a tim... view moreĀ»
