      <title>Royal Society Research Grant: Sleep quality &amp; Centre-of-Pressure sway</title>
      <link>https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/eng/research/grouplist/biomedicaleng/abspie/projects/?newsItem=8a17841a5ce91d47015cee49253d15ea</link>
      <description>&lt;div class="news-thumbnail" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;&lt;img class="thumbnail" width="100" height="100" src="https://warwick.ac.uk/sitebuilder2/file/fac/sci/eng/research/grouplist/biomedicaleng/abspie/projects?sbrPage=%2Ffac%2Fsci%2Feng%2Fresearch%2Fgrouplist%2Fbiomedicaleng%2Fabspie%2Fprojects&amp;newsItem=8a17841a5ce91d47015cee49253d15ea" alt="image"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Poor sleep quality and pattenr causes several health problems and sleep disturbances increase the risk of falling.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, no studies developed a model to explain how poor sleep quality increases the risk of falling while rising-up from a bed or chair, which account for up to 30% of in-door accidental falls.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This study prelimnary explroed for the first time associations between Sleep quality &amp;amp; Centre-of-Pressure sway in order to develop mathematical models to assess the risk of falling.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In particular, this grant supported the acquisition of a state of the art wearable monitor for monitoring physiological signals (i.e. EEG, ECG, EOG, EMG, SpO2, GSR, Actigraphy).&lt;/p&gt;</description>
