How It Works

Period of a physical pendulum (extended body): T = 2π √(I / mgd), where d is distance from pivot to CoM

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Pivot — The pivot recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the physical pendulum result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the pivot for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Period of a physical pendulum (extended body): T = 2π √(I / mgd), where d is distance from pivot to CoM. Use the physical pendulum result to inform your clinical assessment.
