Postural seated balance in children can be assessed with good reliability
Gait and Posture, 2016Seated postural stability can be measured using Tekscan, CONFORMat. Standing postural stability has gained great clinical and, research value by use of different force platforms with mostly good reliability. No reliability testing or biologic variation assessment has been documented regarding seated balance. This study determines the reliability of the

Clinical Biomechanics, 2008
Low back disorders and their prevention is of great importance for companies and their employees. Whole-body vibration is thought to be a risk factor for low back disorders, but the neuromuscular, biomechanical, and/or physiological mechanisms responsible for this increased risk are unclear.

Seated balance during pitch motion with and without visual input
2013 35th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2013The study of seated balance and postural control, specifically in relation to wheelchair propulsion, has been an area of interest for quite some time. In biomedical and rehabilitation research this has led to the potential of treatment and prevention of spinal cord and musculoskeletal injuries.

Effect of age on detecting a loss of balance in a seated whole-body balancing task
Clinical Biomechanics, 2005Most falls are attributed to a loss of balance without a quantitative definition of the term. It has been proposed that a loss of balance is detectable as an unusually large (anomalous) value of the system control error. The hypotheses were tested that age will not affect the detection of control error anomaly, or prediction of the associated ...

Multi-objective optimisation approach for predicting seated posture considering balance
International Journal of Vehicle Design, 2009Common tasks of vehicle operation are performed while seated. Using a whole-body human articulated model, we propose a methodology of predicting realistic seated postures that is based on optimising multiple-objective functions. The idea of zero-moment point (ZMP), inspired from the stability of bipedal motion, is applied to the seated postures as the ...

The effect of exoskeletal-assisted walking training on seated balance — A pilot study
2017 International Symposium on Wearable Robotics and Rehabilitation (WeRob), 2017Mastering exoskeletal-assisted walking (EAW) requires training of static and dynamic balance skills. These trunk control skills are important components of daily activities in the seated position for people with spinal cord injury (SCI). The purpose of the study is to determine if EAW training transfers to improved seated balance in people with SCI ...

Networked equilibrium sharing system "balance seat"
Proceedings of the 2005 ACM SIGCHI International Conference on Advances in computer entertainment technology, 2005This paper presents a networked system connecting real space, which is shared and operated by three people.We made three pneumatic triple-axis motion platforms as a system to share a "sense of balance" with other people, and examined control methods for this system.

Gait & Posture, 2010
This study investigated a representative set of 39 parameters characterizing center of pressure movements (sway) in seated balancing, with the aims to determine test-retest reliability, to clarify the interrelations between these parameters, and to determine which parameters were related to balance loss in seated balancing.

A Vibrotactile Feedback Device for Seated Balance Assessment and Training
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2019Postural perturbations, motion tracking, and sensory feedback are modern techniques used to challenge, assess, and train upright sitting, respectively. The goal of the developed protocol is to construct and operate a sitting platform that can be passively destabilized while an inertial measurement unit quantifies its motion and vibrating elements ...
