Human-Likeness Indicator for Robot Posture Control and Balance [PDF]
Similarly to humans, humanoid robots require posture control and balance to walk and interact with the environment. In this work posture control in perturbed conditions is evaluated as a performance test for humanoid control. A specific performance indicator is proposed: the score is based on the comparison between the body sway of the tested humanoid ...

Postural balance in children with cerebral palsy [PDF]
Postural control deficits have been suggested to be a major component of gait disorders in cerebral palsy (CP). Standing balance was investigated in 23 ambulatory children and adolescents with spastic diplegic CP, ages 5 to 18 years, and compared with values of 92 children without disability, ages 5 to 18 years, while they stood on a force plate with ...

Dynamic postural balance is very beneficial for the smooth running of daily activities and reduces the risk of falling. One of the factors that affect the body's postural balance is Body Mass Index (BMI).

Lead Effects on Postural Balance of Children [PDF]
The postural sway responses of 63 children with a mean age of 5.74 years were quantified with a Force Platform technique. The average maximum (max) blood lead (PbB) of these children during the first 5 years of life was 20.7 micrograms/dL (range 9.2 to 32.5).

COMTEST Project: A Complete Modular Test Stand for Human and Humanoid Posture Control and Balance [PDF]
This work presents a system to benchmark humanoid posture control and balance performances under perturbed conditions. The specific benchmarking scenario consists, for example, of balancing upright stance while performing voluntary movements on moving surfaces.

RESEARCH OF HUMAN POSTURAL BALANCE PARAMETERS [PDF]
In present article postural balance between subjects with stroke and healthy subjects, is being investigated with eyes opened and eyes closed. In the research participated 30 healthy subjects and 15 subjects with stroke. At the same time two experimental measurements were performed – postural balance was measured using balance platform and oscillations
