Abstract
Balance is required for many functional activities of daily life. Qualitative or quantitative balance assessment is frequently used in the diagnosis of neuro-muscular diseases, in treatment or therapy monitoring, and for performance assessment in sports training programs. In the last years, various technologies were developed for balance or posture analysis with the main focus on sensors and reliability of the measurements. We discuss the questions related with the development of a balance assessment system, which might facilitate the design or selection of components for balance sensing and training.
