TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - A real time study of the human equilibrium using an instrumented insole with 3 pressure sensors JO - Conference proceedings - IEEE engineering in medicine and biology society A1 - Abou Ghaida, Hussein A1 - Mottet, Serge A1 - Goujon, Jean-Marc SP - 4968 EP - 4971 VL - 2014 IS - N2 - The present work deals with the study of the human equilibrium using an ambulatory e-health system. One of the point on which we focus is the fall risk, when losing equilibrium control. A specific postural learning model is presented, and an ambulatory instrumented insole is developed using 3 pressures sensors per foot, in order to determine the real-time displacement and the velocity of the centre of pressure (CoP). The increase of these parameters signals a loss of physiological sensation, usually of vision or of the inner ear. The results are compared to those obtained from classical more complex systems.
