Postural Control and Age
Abstract
We quantified the effect of vision, pressoreceptor function and proprioception on the postural stability at different ages. Altogether 212 healthy volunteers (ages from 6 to 90 years) were examined by using a computerised force platform. The sway velocity (SV) was measured with eyes open and eyes closed during quiet stance on a bare platform and a foam plastic covered surface. In addition, to study the proprioceptive system, pseudorandom vibration perturbation was applied on the calf muscles. The SV showed a U-shaped curve: the children and the oldest swayed most. Equilibrium was most stable around 50 years. The visual system was of most importance for balance control in the old. The children were sensitive of pressoreceptor and proprioceptive perturbation, indicating the importance of these systems for their postural control.

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.
