Experimental quantification of balance using whole-body stability regions from postural sway exercises
This study presents a novel, COM-based experimental framework for balance assessment that captures whole-body stability regions from dynamic postural tasks. BRs provide a quantitative and individualized measure of balance capacity beyond traditional metrics. This framework has potential for fall risk evaluation, balance training, and integration with wearable or markerless motion capture in clinical and neurorehabilitation settings.
