Summary
This study establishes normal static posturography parameters for individuals aged 5 to 80. These findings provide a crucial reference for clinical balance assessments.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Clinical Neuroscience
- Human Physiology
Background:
- Static posturography is a key tool for assessing balance.
- Establishing normative data is essential for accurate clinical interpretation.
- Previous studies may lack comprehensive age ranges or standardized methods.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the normal range of static posturography parameters in a diverse human population.
- To provide a normative dataset for individuals across a wide age spectrum (5-80 years).
Main Methods:
- A cohort of 279 healthy individuals aged 5 to 80 years participated.
- Static posturography was performed using the G-5500 gravity sway apparatus.
- Measurements were recorded with eyes open and eyes closed conditions.
Main Results:
- Normal static posturography parameters were successfully acquired for the study cohort.
- Data provides a baseline for comparison in clinical settings.
- Age-related variations in postural control were implicitly captured.
Conclusions:
- The acquired parameters serve as a reliable reference for normal static posturography.
- These results can aid clinicians in diagnosing and managing balance disorders.
- The study contributes valuable normative data to the field of postural assessment.
