Comparison of Static and Dynamic Posturography in Young and Older Normal People
Abstract
Objective: To measure sway velocity during static and dynamic posturography in “normal’ older people and to determine which tests best distinguish young from older subjects. Subjects: A sample of 30 young (18–39 years) and 82 community‐dwelling older (>75 years) subjects who reported normal balance underwent a battery of balance tests. Measurements: Velocity and frequency of sway, Tinetti gait and balance score, self‐reported fear of falling and number of falls. Results: Mean sway velocity and the ratio of high to low frequency sway velocity were significantly increased in older subjects compared with younger subjects for static and dynamic tests with eyes open and with eyes closed. Measures of anterior‐posterior sway velocity during angular tilt of the platform with eyes closed best distinguished young from older subjects (almost three‐fourths of older subjects had values greater than 2 standard deviations from the young normal mean). Older subjects who reported falls in the past year did not have a significantly higher sway velocity on static or dynamic tests compared with those who did not report falls. However, subjects who reported a fear of falling had significantly higher sway velocity on dynamic tests with eyes closed compared to those who did not report a fear of falling. Conclusions: On average, velocity of sway is higher in older subjects compared with younger subjects, and the difference between young and old is greater with dynamic posturography than with static posturography.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
