  2. Limits of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_of_stability

    In simpler terms, LoS represents the maximum distance an individual can intentionally sway in any direction without losing balance or needing to take a step. [2] The typical range of stable swaying is approximately 12.5° in the front-back (antero-posterior) direction and 16° in the side-to-side (medio-lateral) direction. [3]

  3. Balance (ability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_(ability)

    A woman demonstrating the ability to balance A waiter balancing wine glasses. Balance in biomechanics, is an ability to maintain the line of gravity (vertical line from centre of mass) of a body within the base of support with minimal postural sway. [1] Sway is the horizontal movement of the centre of gravity even when a person is standing still.

    The vertical/Z axis, or yaw axis, is an imaginary line running vertically through the ship and through its centre of mass.A yaw motion is a side-to side movement of the bow and stern of the ship.

    Squatting is a posture where the weight of the body is on the feet (as with standing) but the knees and hips are bent. In contrast, sitting, involves taking the weight of the body, at least in part, on the buttocks against the ground or a horizontal object such as a chair seat. The angle between the legs when squatting can vary from zero to ...

  8. Forces on sails - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forces_on_sails

    At a stable angle of heel (for a sailboat) and a steady speed, aerodynamic and hydrodynamic forces are in balance. Integrated over the sailing craft, the total aerodynamic force ( F T ) is located at the centre of effort ( CE ), which is a function of the design and adjustment of the sails on a sailing craft.

  9. Gait deviations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_deviations

    Lateral sway; Step variability; Internal rotation; Similar to decreased stride length and increased step width, lateral sway is generally postulated to be an indication of gait instability. The gait naturally widens to account for a greater instability or external perturbations to balance. Step variability is also related to balance and lateral ...
