Abstract

This work presents design of a new stabilographic force platform and software dedicated to this device written in Java. The software provides a graphical user interface and easy analysis of the posturograph. The algorithm calculates the following parameters: total length of stabilogram, total and average distance from main position, average speed of center of pressure, percentage of measurements beyond the scope of stable sways, maximum sway in antero-posterior and medio-lateral surface, and total length of stabilogram in both planes.
