Methods that effectively assess and train dynamic seated balance are critical for enhancing functional independence and reducing risk of secondary health complications in the elderly and individuals with neuromuscular impairments. The objective of this research was to devise and validate a portable tool for assessing and training dynamic seated balance.

Is body balance more perturbed by respiration in seating than in standing posture?
NeuroReport, 1994The perturbing influence of respiration on balance was studied in sitting and standing subjects. The pneumograms and displacements of the centre of pressure of 10 normal subjects were recorded during quiet breathing, deep breathing and apnoea. The usual stabilometric parameters were measured, and a power spectrum density and time-locked averaging were ...

Test Results on the Counter Balanced Motion (CBM) SEAT Crashworthiness
SAE Technical Paper Series, 2003<div class="htmlview paragraph">This paper reports injury load HYGE sled test data and Madymo crash simulation data, all with a Hybrid III 50%ile male dummy. Six frontal crashes and two rear impacts were performed to determine the effect that the CBM Seat has on injury load data in direct comparison to the original equipment seats (OES),</div ...

Balance Maintenance during Seated Reaches of People with Spinal Cord Injury
SAE Technical Paper Series, 2004<div class="htmlview paragraph">In many task analyses using digital human figure models, only the terminal or apparently most stressful posture is analyzed. For reaches from a seated position, this is generally the posture with the hand or hands at the target.

Measurement of sitting balance using the Manchester Active Position Seat (MAPS): a feasibility study
Clinical Rehabilitation, 2002Background: Evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy to improve sitting balance has been hampered by the limited number of sensitive objective clinical measures. We developed the Manchester Active Position Seat (MAPS) to provide a portable system to track change in the position of centre of force over time.

Quantification of Mechanisms of Human Seated Balance using System Identification
2018Elderly individuals and those affected by neuromuscular disorders are frequently not able to independently maintain seated balance. As a result, these individuals are limited in performing activities of daily living, and are susceptible to an increased risk of falling and secondary health complications.

The Writing Hand and the Seated Baboon: Tension and Balance in Statue MMA 29.2.16
Journal of the American Research Center in Egypt, 2013This paper offers an interpretation of statue Metropolitan Museum of Art 29.2.16 and analyzes the interplay of its two main components, the scribe and the baboon. The statue thematizes the intersection of writing, adoration and true judgment, while calling attention to points of tension between the figure of the scribe and the image of the baboon.

Using posturography to measure balance control during seated tai chi.
Biomedical sciences instrumentation, 2016Tai Chi for Arthritis (TCA) is recognized by the CDC as an evidenced-based program to prevent falls in older adults. Although seated Tai Chi is recommended for those unable to stand, little is known about balance control during seated TCA.To explore the use of posturography to assess differences between experts and non-expert practitioners of seated ...
