The parameter pursued within the measurements was the center of pressure. The
measurements consist of three steps: first orthostatic posture with eyes opened (EO),
second orthostatic posture with eyes closed (EC), and third orthostatic posture with
eyes open after 1 min of standing (orthostatic posture) on the whole body vibration
(WBV) system. The study was done on a group of four subjects, which have given
their approval. The measurements on the Kistler platform consist of a 30 s standing
according to the steps explained before. The acquisition of this data was done through
the BIOWARE software, with the help of which we could generate a series of graphs
in which we were able to notice the smallest changes in the movements of the four
subjects participating in the study. All values were analyzed in excel.
