Static Balance Digital Endpoints with Mon4t: Smartphone Sensors vs. Force Plate
Static balance tests are conducted in various clinics for diagnosis and treatment adjustment. As a result of population aging, the accessibility of these tests should be increased, in the clinic, and for remote patient examination.

Study on the Steepness of Landslide-Induced Wave and Nonlinear Motion of Container Ships
Large-scale instability of a landslide body, sliding down a bank slope and entering water at a high speed, arouses landslide surges. Taking the water entry point as a source point, they spread rapidly to surrounding areas, increasing the danger risk of ...

Effect of Eye-Object Distance on Body Sway during Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation
Gazing at objects at a near distance (small eye-object distance) can reduce body sway. However, whether body sway is regulated by movement in the mediolateral or anteroposterior direction remains unclear.
