Abstract

During last decades, many technological alternatives for posture assessment has been proposed for people with balance problems caused by several pathologies, these alternatives are commonly based on center of pressure (COP) analysis using strength platforms, being the most used quantitative technique in the current clinical environment. Nevertheless, COP is not the only parameter interfering in balance, recent related investigations on this subject has analyzed the center of mass (COM) in static and dynamic state of balance problems people.

Nowadays, inertial sensors based tools has been proposed for postural control of people on static and dynamic state, which have provided a suitable clinical use in non-specialized environments, this technology has been used to provide space-time parameters related to human movement. In order to improve COM’s analysis and its effect in postural control many bio-mechanical models has been proposed, considering sensor arrays on upper only, lower only, or entire body. However, a suitable stabilometric analysis is still on research. The aim of this systematic review is to summarize the main Inertial sensors based stabilometric analysis for postural control in elderly people studies.
