Abstract

Introduction Assessment of postural control and balance is very important to guide therapeutic interventions, these being the most affected aspects that limit people with alterations in gait, posture, and activities of daily life. It has been shown that the accelerometry is useful for assessment of postural balance. Objectives To determine efficient indicators based on accelerometry to assess sitting and standing in stability and instability situations, with and without visual control in a preliminary study in healthy subjects. Methodology Twenty-six healthy subjects were evaluated by placing triaxal accelerometers and performing different tests in sitting and standing positions. Results The energy required to find a balance in instability situations was seen in a frequency band of 1.5-3 Hz. Conclusions The indicators that could be useful for the therapists to assess postural control and balance are: root mean square, energy spectral density and frequency spectrum.
