  • Patent number: 11607166
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20200187842
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for quantifying the balance of an individual to obtain a value representative of the balance of said individual, said method being implemented by a device comprising at least one data processing module connected to a storage means and said method comprising: a) a step of recording, on the storage means, at least one statokinesigram of the individual obtained from a platform comprising pressure and/or force sensors, b) a step of extracting, by the data processing module and from the one or more statokinesigram(s) of the individual recorded on the storage means, 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, c) a step of determining, by the data processing module, the value of several quantifiers, from the values of the trajectory parameters extracted in step b), d) a step of comparing, by the data processing module, said values of several quantifiers with the value

  • Publication number: 20180220936
    Abstract: A method is provided for characterising a gait comprising steps of: receiving a signal measuring the movement of a target subject measured beforehand; comparing (204) at least one section of the measuring signal with a plurality of reference signals, the plurality of reference signals comprising at least one movement signal measured beforehand on a reference subject different from the target subject, each comparison of the measuring signal with a reference signal producing a similarity coefficient representative of a probability of similarity between the compared signals; and selecting (208) at least one local maximum of interest among the similarity coefficients produced, wherein the plurality of reference signals comprises at least one movement signal measured beforehand on a reference subject afflicted with a gait disorder, and at least one movement signal measured beforehand on a healthy reference object.
