  • Method for quantifying balance
    Patent number: 11246525
    Abstract: 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.

  • IMPROVED METHOD FOR QUANTIFYING BALANCE
    Publication number: 20200375520
    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, one storage means, and one classification module, said method comprising in particular the following steps: segmenting, as a function of time, the 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.
