Kevin Dames
Kevin Dames, Kinesiology Department and Sutton Richmond from the University of Florida had their article titled “A static posturography guide to implementing time-to-boundary” published in the Journal of Biomechanics. This work summarizes the state-of-the-field in time to boundary methodology, interpretation, and application for postural stability assessments. As a supplement, they also share a full MATLAB script and sample data to produce the outcome for universal access to the methodology, a resource hitherto not available. Lack of comprehensive, transparent methodology presentation in past literature has limited comparisons among studies or feasibility of establishing normative data given possibility of dissimilar data processing routines.
