Design of a dynamic balance assessment system
… the test subject was able to maintain a state of balance or how long it took them to return to that state of balance. This state of balance would be determined by measuring the subject's postural sway by using a foot pressure profile plate to determine how much deviation there was during testing. …

Assessing variability of postural control over time using nonlinear dynamics
… recruited and completed thirty days of daily balance assessment, along with a baseline and follow-up assessment. At baseline, measurements of fall risk were taken such as functional tasks of 10 Meter Walk (10MW), Timed Up and Go (TUG), 30-second Sit To Stand (30STS), and underwent a …

Examining The Sustainability Of The Current Account Balance Using A Probability Approach
… by the likelihood that future current account balances remain below a specified threshold—thus offering a more realistic and dynamic assessment. This proposed novel probability approach is based on a forecasting exercise. Therefore, our contribution is primarily empirical rather than …
