Differentiation of fall history in older adults using posturography

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
The use of posturography to distinguish fallers and non-fallers is widely debated, likely due to a lack of standardization in methodologies and reporting. The objective of our study was to examine whether between-group differentiation was possible by focusing on factors that had shown promise. It was found that in all testing conditions, significant differences were observed between fallers (1+ fall in the past 12 months) and non-fallers. Between-group differences were greatest in the eyes open, narrow stance condition for traditional sway measures.
