Background The human body adopts a number of strategies to maintain an upright position.
The analysis of the human balance allows for the understanding and identification of such …

The aim of this project was to evaluate the use of a new analysis technique, fractal
dimension analysis, for quantification of quiet stance centre of pressure (COP). By using a …

The aim was to analyse the limitation of the head and lumbar movements in relation to the
centre of gravity which is needed to maintain standing balance with ageing. The participants …

Almost one third of population 65 years-old and older faces at least one fall per year. An
accurate evaluation of the risk of fall through simple and easy-to-use measurements is an …

The aims of the present study are twofold:(1) to compare the postural control mechanisms of
young and elderly people as well as in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients during quiet …

Posturography is utilized to assess the influence of aging on postural control. Although this
measurement is advantageous for finding group-level differences between the young and …

The aim of this analysis was to compare values of centre of pressure (CoP) measures, which
describe the ability to maintain static body balance (range of body sway and velocity in …

The study investigated whether physiological factors related to specific body systems can
explain postural control as measured by the scalar distance at a given time between the …

Postural control is often quantified by recording the trajectory of the center of pressure (COP)—
also called stabilogram—during human quiet standing. This quantification has many …

Background and aims: Aging is frequently accompanied by a deterioration in postural
control, but it is not clear whether the primary contributor is increasing age or a progressive …
