Development of a Dynamic Oriented Rehabilitative Integrated System (DORIS) and Preliminary Tests
Moving platforms were introduced in the field of the study of posturography since the 1970s. Commercial platforms have some limits: a limited number of degrees of freedom, pre-configured protocols, and, usually, they are expensive.

A validation of mobile sensing actigraphy devices for generating a biomechanical model of posture [PDF]
Mobile sensing actigraphy was tested and validated as a modality for computing dynamic posturography. Twelve healthy volunteer subjects (6 male) were administered risperidone and assessed for postural stability using a NeuroCom® Balance Master system and

Effect of Auditory Input on Sensory Organization and Fall Risk in Young Adults With Hearing Aids
The aim of this study was to document postural control, sensory organization, and fall risk parameters of auditory input using computerized post urography in bilaterally hearing‐aided young adults. It was observed that auditory input had a positive contribution to postural control and fall risk in young adult hearing aid users.

Abstract Background Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the huntingtin gene on chromosome 4, leading to progressive cognitive decline, motor impairment, and functional disability. Although balance impairment is recognized in HD, its onset and evolution with disease stage remain poorly ...
