Abstract :
In this paper, designing and fabrication of a static Postural Stabilometer is described. The hardware and software implementation of the instrument is briefly reported. Sensors, hardware circuit, filter and A/D converter is presented in hardware section. Forces estimation, center of pressure (COP) position and sway index is stated in software section. Finally, the overall instrument is tested on several healthy subjects and their reports are presented in detail.
