Reactive Postural Response in Bipodal Balance Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper we present some considerations concerning the determination of the reactive postural response, measured and analyzed in a bipodal balance study. This study allows the emphasizing of the subjects’ postural reactions when the balance on axial direction exceeds the base of support (BOS). In the first part of the paper, we present the types of bipodal supports and we analyze the sensorial influences. In the second part we present the recording and analysis system and also the results and conclusions upon the determination of reactive postural response (RPR) in bipodal balance situations.
