A method for quantifying the balance of an individual recording, on a memory, at least one statokinesigram of the individual obtained from a platform comprising pressure and/or force sensors; extracting, by a processor and from the at least one statokinesigram of the individual recorded on the memory, values of at least one position trajectory parameter of the pressure center and values of at least one stability trajectory parameter of the pressure center; determining, by the processor, the value of a plurality of quantifiers, from the values of the trajectory parameters extracted; comparing, by the processor, said values of the plurality of quantifiers with the values of the same quantifiers obtained from reference statokinesigrams; and determining, by the processor, said value representative of the balance of the individual at the end of the comparison.

Multiparameter method for quantifying balance

A method for quantifying the balance of an individual includes segmenting, as a function of time, a statokinesigram(s) of an individual so as to generate several statokinesigram portions; extracting, from the statokinesigram portions, values of at least one trajectory parameter; determining the value of at least two quantifiers, from the values of trajectory parameters extracted in the extraction step, for each of the statokinesigram portions generated in the segmentation step; and determining said value representative of the balance of the individual from the values of the quantifiers of each of the statokinesigram portions. The method may be implemented by a processor and memory.
