The purpose of using time-series analyses is to provide interpretation of information on curves or functions, such as dynamic, biomechanical data. We evaluated the application of one method of time-series analysis for assessing changes in postural responses when exposed to a continuously rotating visual field combined with a tilted support surface. Functional Principal Component Analysis (fPCA) was applied to center of mass (CoM) trajectories collected from 22 young adults (20-39 y.o.) on a fixed surface or following a 3 degree (30°/s) dorsiflexion tilt of the support surface combined with continuous upward or downward pitch rotation of the visual field at 30 and 45°/s. The usefulness of this analytical tool is that each curve is treated as a distinct observation by itself, allowing for traditional PCA to be applied to the analysis of curves. Results of the fPCA highlighted 5 distinct time periods in the CoM curves that explained 91% of the variability in the data. These periods in which the young adults altered their CoM in response to visual field motion would not have been identified if we had relied on the onset and offset of the transient disturbance to distinguish responses. Young adults significantly displaced their CoM in response to visual motion over both the period of support surface tilt and while the support surface returned to a neutral position. Our results indicate that fPCA is a viable method when applied to the small but complex changes that emerge in postural data and might allow for a better understanding of time dependent processes occurring with pathology and intervention. |
