The objectives of this study were to assess the within-day and between-day reliability of
several center of pressure (COP)-based measures of postural sway and identify whether …

Postural instability is a major risk factor of falling in the elderly. It is well documented that
postural control may decline while performing a concurrent cognitive task and this effect …

The purpose of this study was to compare the test-retest reliability of a wide variety of center-
of-pressure (CoP) based postural sway measures and their ability to detect the differences …

Technical advancements in instrumentation and analytical methods have improved the
ability of assessing balance control. This study investigated the effects of early stages of …

of quiet stance center of pressure in young, healthy people. OBJECTIVES: To assess …

Postural control is commonly assessed by quantifying center of pressure (CoP) variability
during quiet stance. CoP data is traditionally filtered prior to analysis. However, some …

measures of postural steadiness in healthy elderly people. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2004; …

We investigate postural sway data dynamics in older adult fallers and non-fallers. Center of
pressure (COP) signals were recorded during quiet standing in 28 older adults. The subjects …

Poor balance in older persons contributes to a rise in fall risk and serious injury, yet no
consensus has developed on which measures of postural sway can identify those at …

Background The study of balance using stabilogram analysis is of particular interest in the
study of falls. Although simple statistical parameters derived from the stabilogram have been …
