Use of the margin of stability to quantify stability in pathologic gait – a qualitative systematic review [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021 Background The Margin of Stability (MoS) is a widely used objective measure of dynamic stability during gait. Increasingly, researchers are using the MoS to assess the stability of pathological populations to gauge their stability capabilities and coping

Kinect V2-Based Gait Analysis for Children with Cerebral Palsy: Validity and Reliability of Spatial Margin of Stability and Spatiotemporal Variables [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have high risks of falling. It is necessary to evaluate gait stability for children with CP. In comparison to traditional motion capture techniques, the Kinect has the potential to be utilised as a cost-effective gait ...

Ambulatory Assessment of the Dynamic Margin of Stability Using an Inertial Sensor Network [PDF]
Sensors, 2019 Loss of stability is a precursor to falling and therefore represents a leading cause of injury, especially in fragile people. Thus, dynamic stability during activities of daily living (ADLs) needs to be considered to assess balance control and fall risk.

Evaluation of the Margin of Stability during Gait Initiation in Young Healthy Adults, Elderly Healthy Adults and Patients with Parkinson’s Disease: A Comparison of Force Plate and Markerless Motion Capture Systems [PDF]
SensorsGait initiation (GI) is a functional task classically used in the literature to evaluate the capacity of individuals to maintain postural stability. Postural stability during GI can be evaluated through the “margin of stability” (MoS), a variable that is

Applying bilateral mastoid vibration changes the margin of stability in the anterior–posterior and medial–lateral directions while walking on different inclines [PDF]
European Journal of Medical ResearchBackground Walking on an incline demands specific neuronal control because the vestibular system may alter gait patterns to maintain balance with respect to self-orientation to gravity. A previous study confirms the aforementioned hypothesis that walking

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2022 Introduction: gait-related falls account for most falls in the elderly. The identification of individuals at risk of falling due to unstable gait requires clinically feasible measures that can detect impairments in gait. Our obiective was to : (1) assess
