Estimation of the Centre of Mass From Motion Capture and Force Plate Recordings: A Study on the Elderly

The estimation of the centre of mass position in humans is usually based on biomechanical models developed from anthropometric tables. This method can potentially introduce errors in studies involving elderly people, since the ageing process is typically associated with a modification of the distrib...
