  • Lack of Stability Indicators

    I am currently starting a project that will analyze the biomechanical
    indicators (eg. Postural Sway, Symmetry of Motion, Jerk, ...) of stability
    problems in the elderly. If anyone could help me out by providing some
    references with respect to such factors or simply suggest others, it would
    be greatly appreciated. Below, I am including the references I have
    collected to this point. I would be happy to compile whatever I receive and
    post it for all.

    Cheers,
    Andrew
