Abstract
Based on the requirements of medical diagnosis and detection of human dynamic balance ability, a dynamic force platform for testing of human’s balance ability was developed. The equipment was controlled by a microcomputer, and could help to judge the dynamic balance ability by measuring the dynamic trajectory of human pressure center. In this paper, the mechanical structure of the dynamic force platform is presented, and its control system based on real-time acquisition and real-time feedback control is designed and implemented. The dynamic coordinate transformation algorithm of force measuring platform under swaying state is studied. Through the experiment of human eyes closed and weight-bearing, the dynamic trajectory detection and characteristic analysis of human pressure center were carried out.
The work was supported by Key Scientific Research Project of Zhejiang Province (Grant No. 2016C03SA610390).
