Abstract

Stabilometry is a process that is used for quantitative evaluation of equilibrium functions and is generally performed by maintaining Romberg’s posture. As stated in Chap. 1, when compared to the controlled trial, it may be more pertinent to study the variation in the temporally averaged potential and mathematical model of the sway of the center of pressure (CoP) under unstable conditions during or after viewing the blurred images and the stereoscopic video clips. This advanced research will be introduced in this chapter. We also show that it is possible to enhance the accuracy of the evaluation of relatively stable stabilograms with the subjects’ eyes being open by utilizing the mathematical model of the body sway. By taking research ethics into consideration, we have reduced the burden on subjects, allowing us to widen the scope of this research’s contribution beyond simply performing analysis of highresolution images and/or virtual reality (VR) up to its applications in the fields of hygiene and medical engineering.

Appendix: Analytical Indices in Stabilometry

Appendix: Analytical Indices in Stabilometry

The parameters for the analysis in the stabilometry are defined as follows [17]:

Area of sway: The area of the region surrounded by the circumference (envelop) of body sway on the x-y coordinate system. An increase in the value indicates the instability of sway.

Total locus length: The total distance of movement of the center of gravity within the measurement time. An increase in the value indicates the instability of sway.

Total locus length per unit area: A value calculated by dividing the total locus length by the area of sway. A decrease in the value indicates the instability of sway.

Sparse density: The stabilogram is divided into squares, and the frequency of passing over the center of foot pressure is determined in each square. As the sway narrows, i.e., the local density increases, the value becomes closer to 1. Inversely, the value decreases as the sway widens.
