New Instrumentation for Measurement of Man's Stability of Stance.

Abstract

An instrumentation system for measurement of postural equilibrium in man was developed. The device consists of an electronic platform which continuously measures the location of the physiologic gravicenter in the horizontal plane and a circuit which reduces this measurement to quantitative indices of stability of stance. The instrument is shown to be highly accurate and convenient to operate. Three recording versions of the system, each differing in cost and complexity, are described. (Author)
