Thus, individuals must adjust their movements when walking in an unstable environment to avoid falling or losing balance. A person\u2019s ability to control their center of mass (COM) during lateral motion is critical to maintaining balance when walking. Dynamic balancing is also crucial to maintain stability while walking. The margin of stability (MOS) is used to define this dynamic balancing. This study aimed to develop a model for predicting balance control and stability in walking on ships by estimating the peak COM excursion and MOS variability using accelerometers. We recruited 30 healthy individuals for this study. During the experiment, participants walked for two minutes at self-selected speeds, and we used a computer-assisted rehabilitation environment (CAREN) system to simulate the roll motion. The proposed prediction models in this study successfully predicted the peak COM excursion and MOS variability. This study may be used to protect and save seafarers or passengers by assessing the risk of balance loss.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22145416","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,21]],"date-time":"2022-07-21T03:34:40Z","timestamp":1658374480000},"page":"5416","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Prediction of Stability during Walking at Simulated Ship\u2019s Rolling Motion Using Accelerometers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9612-3029","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jungyeon","family":"Choi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Science and Technology, University of Nebraska at Omaha, Omaha, NE 68182, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8997-1377","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brian A.","family":"Knarr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomechanics, University of Nebraska at Omaha, Omaha, NE 68182, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yeongjin","family":"Gwon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jong-Hoon","family":"Youn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Science and Technology, University of Nebraska at Omaha, Omaha, NE 68182, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"29","article-title":"Effects of Motion at Sea on Crew Performance: A Survey","volume":"39","author":"Stevens","year":"2002","journal-title":"Mar.
