Evaluation of the Effects of Magnetic Field Exposure on Body Sway

摘要

This study examined the effects of static magnetic exposure on body sway during a static posture. The subjects were located 80 cm away from the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, and their motions were captured by a motion-capture system. The average exposure level was 65 +/- 8 mT (n = 15) at the head position. The results were compared with those from control conditions acquired at the console room. Small increments in the total sway paths and the anterior/posterior sway paths were detected through magnetic field exposure condition. However, the overall effect was small because the actual changes in parameter values were very small. (c) 2022 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by Wiley Periodicals LLC.
