Abstract
Orthostatic equilibrium conservation is one of the most critical features of the human body. Nevertheless, the biological control system behind it can be subject to reduced performance due to physical incidents, neurological pathologies, or aging. For this reason, recent researches on the biomedical field have focused on a proper method able to evaluate it in a univocal and replicable way for medical checkup reasons. Born as a collaboration between Politecnico di Torino Mechanics and Aerospace (DIMEAS) department and the Università degli Studi di Torino Neuroscience department, the Perturbation Generation Analysis System (PGAS) project revolves around the study of an alternative, more flexible way to evaluate human postural control.
The system entails the use of a perturbative system, able to introduce a definite, unidirectional, and plannable source of disequilibrium on the subject’s body, and a rigid ground platform, to calculate the subject’s reaction to said distress
