Smartphone Application Measures Postural Sway
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a mobile system based on a widely available platform (smartphones) and a custom-designed image processing software for human movement and sway assessment. This is a low cost, easy-to-use design that is portable and provides accurate assessments. Older adults, athletes, and others suffering from balance disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, can use this technology. An additional use includes as a screening tool for concussion and/or traumatic brain injury for both athletes and military personnel. It offers the advantages of daily measurement by the end-user.
