Elderly individuals exhibit altered postural control, with significant differences in balance parameters compared to younger adults. These findings highlight the need for age-specific reference values in posturography assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Biomechanics
  • Human Physiology

Context:

  • Postural stability is crucial for elderly independence.
  • Age-related changes can significantly impact balance.
  • Posturography is a key tool for assessing postural control.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the postural behavior of elderly individuals using posturography.
  • To identify age-related differences in postural parameters.

Summary:

  • Twenty subjects over seventy years old underwent posturography.
  • Significant variations in total tracing length, ellipse surface, and mean speed were observed compared to young adults.
  • These results indicate age-specific changes in postural control.

Impact:
