Modeling margin of stability with feet in place following a postural perturbation: Effect of altered anthropometric models for estimated extrapolated centre of mass

Findings suggest that simplified calculations of CoM can be used by researchers without reducing MoS measurement accuracy; however, the degree of simplification should be context-dependent. For example, CoMp models may be appropriate for questions pertaining to frontal plane MoS; sagittal plane MoS necessitates inclusion of lower limb and HTP segments to prevent underestimation of postural stability.
