Stability Radii and Uncertainty in Balance Control

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Delay and Uncertainty in Human Balancing Tasks

Abstract

The stability radius provides a scalar measure of the distance from instability in the space of the system and control parameters. It is not difficult to imagine that the risk of falling might be inversely proportional to the stability radius, i.e the smaller the stability radius the higher the risk of falling due to sensory uncertainty.
