A comparison of two techniques for center of pressure measurements [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Engineering, 2020 Introduction Force platforms and pressure-measuring insoles are the most common tools used for measuring center of pressure. Earlier studies to assess these instruments suffered from limited sample sizes or an inadequate range of participant foot sizes.

The design of the center of pressure apparatus with demonstration
Cogent Engineering, 2020 In this project, the design of the center of pressure apparatus is attained to determine the static hydrostatic force exerted by a fluid on a submerged surface. It is also to perform a comparison of the measured magnitude and position of this experimental hydrostatic force with the theoretical one.

A Velostat-Based Pressure-Sensitive Mat for Center-of-Pressure Measurements: A Preliminary Study [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 Center-of-pressure (CoP) displacements play a key role in studies assessing postural stability. The accepted instrument to measure CoP trajectories is the force platform, but pressure-sensitive mats (PSMs) are an alternative composed of a matrix of sensitive cells. A typical cell comprises two electrodes with piezoresistive material in between, while a

Circular Components in Center of Pressure Signals
Motor Control, 2013 Static posturography provides an objective assessment of postural control by characterizing the body sway during upright standing. The center of pressure (COP) signal is recorded by a force platform, and it is analyzed by means of many different models and techniques.

Cluster Analysis of Center-of-Pressure Measures [PDF]
International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2012 − Postural stability analysis is useful in a variety of applications, such as assessing the risk of falls for older adults or investigating neuromuscular disorders. Variations in the center-of-pressure (COP) are often used to assess postural stability. The COP is a point where the vertical reaction forces of the ground act.

Quantifying center of pressure variability in chondrodystrophoid dogs [PDF]
The Veterinary Journal, 2017 The center of pressure (COP) position reflects a combination of proprioceptive, motor and mechanical function. As such, it can be used to quantify and characterize neurologic dysfunction. The aim of this study was to describe and quantify the movement of COP and its variability in healthy chondrodystrophoid dogs while walking to provide a baseline for ...

Measurements of the stagnation pressure in the center of a cavitating jet [PDF]
Experiments in Fluids, 2011 The stagnation pressure at a certain distance from the nozzle is important for the erosion/ cutting capacity of a submerged jet in dredging. The decay of the stagnation pressure with jet distance is well known in the case of non-cavitating jets. It is also known that cavitation causes the rate of decay to decrease.

Estimation procedures affect the center of pressure frequency analysis [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2009 Even though frequency analysis of body sway is widely applied in clinical studies, the lack of standardized procedures concerning power spectrum estimation may provide unreliable descriptors. Stabilometric tests were applied to 35 subjects (20-51 years, 54-95 kg, 1.6-1.9 m) and the power spectral density function was estimated for the anterior ...

IEEE Sensors Journal, 2023 Large-area tactile sensors are used to image the pressure exerted by human body parts. More specifically, they can be used to measure plantar pressure on human stability tests. The center-of-pressure (CoP) trajectory is the primary outcome of such tests.

Blood pressure measurement and blood pressure control in Veterans Affairs medical centers
The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2023 AbstractThe Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers provide care for millions of Veterans at high risk of cardiovascular disease and accurate BP measurement in this population is vital for optimal BP control. Few studies have examined terminal digit preference (TDP), a marker of BP measurement bias, clinician perceptions of BP measurement, and BP control
