“…8,9 Clinical measurements of FR and LR are intended to assess dynamic balance. 11,12 The LR Test (LRT) measures postural stability in the medial-lateral direction by assessing the maximum distance an individual can reach laterally beyond arm length at shoulder height, while maintaining a fixed base of support in standing. 7,10 Functional reach is one of the components of the Pediatric Balance Scale for school-age children, which is a modified version of the Berg Balance Scale.…”

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of lightly gripping a cane on the Functional Reach Test (FRT) to evaluate dynamic balance. 21 healthy men (19±1 years) were asked to perform the FRT three times. The standard FRT was performed in the first and third trials. In the second trial, participants in a light-grip group (n = 11) were told to lightly grip (but to not apply force for mechanical support) the cane during the FRT. Participants in a depend-on-cane group (n = 10) were told to perform the FRT while supporting their weight with the cane. FRT is improved by not only supporting a person’s own weight with a cane but also just lightly gripping the cane. These findings would be helpful in the development of a useful application to improve the human movement using a haptic sensory supplementation for activities of daily living.

“…Their definition is given in Table 2. Although some of them refer to literature [16,23,24], others were also added (Table 2). In particular, trunk rotation was computed in five different ways: three by angles defined in the transverse plane and two by angles between segments defined in the 3D space.…”
