 This study proposes a new framework for detecting postural instability in standing and walking tasks. The proposed framework uses electroencephalogram e.g. ground reaction force and had acceleration data to identify low-amplitude neural potentials, N1S, associated with postural instability. Additionally, this study also demonstrates how the spatio-temporal characteristics of the center of pressure, COP, can be used to predict the occurrence of N1S. This study suggests that COP may serve as an important biological marker for detecting postural instability in a balanced task. Furthermore, this study extends the framework to identify biomarkers in dynamic situations like walking, which may help reduce falls in the elderly.
