Experimental Analysis of Effective Parameters on Human Balance During Standing and Gaiting

Sudden falls are known as the second cause of accidental injury deaths by the world health organization. In this paper effective parameters caused in human balance are analyzed in order to prevent fall. As experimental examples, effect of the parameters on human balance during standing and gaiting were investigated. For this purpose, a database is gathered. These information were recorded while 30 student balances were affected by the parameters changing in both standing and gaiting situation. In the specified pattern, the effect of vision, vestibular system and muscle strength were studied in both standing and gaiting, individually. Furthermore, in order to study the human balance while using a cell phone in gaiting, several experiments were extended. The results show the influence of the parameters on human balance. Although, men had better balance rather than women while standing but women were shown beter balanve while using a cell phone in gaiting.
