Age Effects on Mediolateral Balance Control
Figure 1
Illustration of the set-up and the model for Center of Mass (CoM) calculation utilized in this experiment, showing a silhouette of a subject standing in the middle of a forceplate with marker placement superimposed (in white actual makers and in grey estimated joint centers) and the display of the CoM feedback (red sphere).
The white sphere in the centre represents target which moved in the mediolateral (ML) direction following the patterns depicted in the bottom panel: predictable (top) and unpredictable (bottom). An insertion of foot soles is presented showing foot positioning during the experiments (stance width and angle).
