CENTER OF MASS ESTIMATION USING A FORCE PLATFORM AND INERTIAL SENSORS FOR BALANCE EVALUATION IN QUIET STANDING

Center of Mass Estimation Using a Force Platform and Inertial Sensors for Balance Evaluation in Quiet Standing

Accurate estimation of the center of mass is necessary for evaluating balance control during quiet standing.However, no practical center of mass estimation method exists because of problems with estimation accuracy and theoretical validity in previous studies that used force platforms or inertial sensors.This study aimed to develop a method for est

Estimating the predictive ability of genetic risk models in simulated data based on published results from genome-wide association studies

Background: There is increasing interest in investigating genetic risk models in empirical studies, but such studies are premature when the expected predictive ability of the risk model is low.We assessed how accurately the predictive ability coin purse of genetic risk models can be estimated in simulated data that are created based on the odds rat

Transforming medical professionalism to fit changing health needs

Abstract Background The professional organization of medical work no longer reflects the changing health needs caused by the growing number of complex and chronically ill patients.Key stakeholders enforce coordination and remove power from the medical professions in order allow for these changes.However, it may also be necessary to initiate basic c
