Given the growing concern on this field, the research group has developed dedicated devices for the assessment of gait and balance, including a force plate. In this work, a calibration procedure for this force plate is devised and implemented, based on a calibration device which combines versatility, ease of use, and low-cost, and on refer-ence weights. The procedure is detailed, and its results are shown, indicating a positive response for the device, and prov-ing a superior fit compared to the theoretical estimation of its behavior. Based on this improved knowledge on the designed force plate, a dedicated signal-analysis tool is shown, incorpo-rating calibration results and curves. Finally, examples of use of this tool are detailed, with standing balance registers from a control subject, indicating the resulting capabilities of the whole system as a promising tool for the assessment of human balance. | URI : | https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/5593 | ISBN : | 978-981-10-4086-3 (online) 978-981-10-4085-6 (impreso) |
