  • Title: Effects of stimulating surface during static upright posture in the elderly.
    Author: Palazzo F, Caronti A, Lebone P, Proietti A, Panzarino M, Annino G.
    Journal: Somatosens Mot Res; 2015; 32(2):61-6. PubMed ID: 25296245.
    Abstract:
    This study aimed to investigate the influence of three stimulating surfaces based on center of pressure (CoP), anteroposterior sway velocity (V(A/P)), and medio-lateral sway velocity (V(M/L)) of 40 elderly subjects. CoP and V(M/L) showed a significant decrease in all visual conditions only in the stimulating surface whereas V(A/P) showed a significant decrease only on the same surface with eyes open. Results confirm the importance of multisensory stimulation in postural control in the elderly.
