Demonstration of the Effect of Centre of Mass Height on Postural Sway Using Accelerometry for Balance Analysis

The effect of center of mass (COM) height on stand-still postural sway analysis was studied. For this purpose, a measurement apparatus was set up that included an accelerometry unit attached to a rod: three plumb lines, positioned at 50 cm, 75 cm, and 100 cm to the end of the rod, each supported a plumb bob. Using a vice mechanism, the rod was inclined from vertical (0 degree inclination) in steps of 5 degrees to 90 degrees. For each inclination, the corresponding inclination angle was manually measured by a protractor, and the positions of the three plumb bobs on the ground surface were also manually measured using a tape measure. Algebraic operations were used to calculate the inclination angle and the associated displacements of the plumb bobs on the ground surface from the accelerometry data. For each inclination angle, the manual and accelerometry calculated ground displacement produced by each plumb bulb were close. It was demonstrated that the height of COM, where the measurement was taken, affected the projected displacement on the ground surface. A higher height produced a greater displacement. This effect has an implication in postural sway analysis where the accelerometry readings may need comparison amongst subjects with different COM heights. To overcome this, a method that normalized the accelerometry readings by considering the COM height was proposed, and the associated results were presented

Kurt Salmon Associates IT Strategic Planning Executive Session

This slideshow was presented in 2015 following a review of the university\u27s IT system by the Kurt Salmon Associates. KSA\u27s review entailed a broad consideration of the nature and responsibility of information technology, providing what is ultimately an information technology strategic plan (p. 18) that takes into account the principles of such a department in general. The recommendations provided by the firm entailed a consideration of governance, and the business and fiscal models of information technology
