Quantifying performance and effects of load carriage during a challenging balancing task using an array of wireless inertial sensors

Highlights • Performance during functional balance tests is quantified using wireless IMUs. • With load, beam traverse time increases and subjects adopt more cautious gait. • Double support time and stride duration increase with load. • Torso lateral flexion and lateral acceleration of the sacrum de...

Summary:Highlights • Performance during functional balance tests is quantified using wireless IMUs. • With load, beam traverse time increases and subjects adopt more cautious gait. • Double support time and stride duration increase with load. • Torso lateral flexion and lateral acceleration of the sacrum decrease with load.
