Hello all,
We are doing some balance research using a force plate (AMTI ORS6-5).
The subject stands as quietly as possible on the force plate and the center
of pressure (CP) position is calculated from the signals collected from it.
I would like to present some questions:
1- What to do if the subject has to use some kind of support (like crutches or
a walker) to be able to stand on the plate? They might be in contact with
the plate or not?
2- What are the most used/interesting parameters of CP to analyse? We here are
mainly concerned on the speed and radius.
Thank you in advance for your collaboration. I will post a summary if it is
of interest.
