Normal postural stability and steadiness: quantitative assessment
Abstract
A force platform was utilized to provide a new and sensitive means to measure postural steadiness and stability. Normal standards are presented for the center of pressure of the vertical supportive force during standing and sustained weight-shifting of normal men in three age groups. Two distinguishing characteristics were seen for normal upright posture: (1) a large area of stability over which weight can be safely shifted and maintained, and (2) steadiness such that the center of pressure fluctuates incessantly, traversing large total excursions, while remaining remarkably close to the mean point. The youngest age group showed the greatest steadiness and stability and the oldest group showed the least.

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.
