Abstract

In this paper we present a set of dynamic balance responses following perturbation applied in the right direction to a selected subject suffering from chronic hemiparesis by a newly developed Balance Assessment Robot. The responses are grossly similar to those previously observed in neurologically intact individuals in terms of stepping characteristics and repeatability, however distinct changes characteristic for hemiparesis that are subject-specific were also identified.
