Mobile Posturographic Analysis System

Abstract

There is an increasing ratio of balance losses and consequently risk of falling with aging population. The failure of current treatment methods to achieve significant improvements has rendered the patient passive in his/her daily life. Therefore, with the aid of a mobile system which will collect continuous data during subjects' daily lives, this study aims at determining and investigating posture deformity and helping the physicians in forming the training plans of their patients. The device was designed to record the movements of the body on the roll and pitch planes. Depending on age and gender, recorded parameters have been thought to be compared automatically with normal data. A computer interface was designed for the physicians to visualize and inspect the measurements.
