The aim of this project was to develop a biomechanically based quantification of the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) using data derived from the accelerometer and gyroscope of a mobile tablet device. Thirty-two healthy young adults completed the BESS while an iPad was positioned at the sacrum. D...
