Abstract:
We present a preliminary study of combined anterior posterior (AP) and medial lateral (ML) sway assuming a classic inverted pendulum with included subtalar movement. Based on a feedback control posture model in the sagittal plane as presented by Maurer and Peterka, we have investigated parameters needed to model ML sway components. Center of pressure (COP) data was collected from a population of 8 normal adults (age 18 to 30 years) using a dual AMTI force plate system. Fourteen different sway metrics were calculated. The collected data was successfully compared to numerous simulations of the model where model parameters were varied and the goal was to reproduce both AP and ML components.

Body Planes
The sagittal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides. If this vertical plane runs directly down the middle of the body resulting in equal division, it is called the midsagittal or median...

Pole and System Stability
Simple poles are unique roots of the denominator polynomial. Each simple pole corresponds to a distinct solution to the system's characteristic equation, typically resulting in exponential decay terms in the system's response.
