There is disclosed a system and method for monitoring a person's balance, for example when performing a posturography assessment following a stroke, in which a unit bearing light emitting devices in a predetermined spatial arrangement is attached to a person. A system for monitoring a person's balance, the system comprises: i) a unit bearing at least one indicium, the at least one indicium having a fixed predetermined spatial configuration on the unit; and ii) an image capture device; wherein either the unit or the image capture device is provided with a means for attachment to a person such that the unit or device is locatable generally at a centre of balance of a subject, the system being configured to measure movement of the unit, the system being further configured to record movement of the at least one indicia with reference to the subject's centre of balance so as to obtain an objective measure of balance. |
