Abstract Summary
The transient response of postural control was investigated during quiet, eyes closed stance in young and elderly populations, as a first step in assessing the clinical relevance of this transient behavior. Time-dependent estimates of commonly used center of pressure parameters were analyzed throughout 60-second standing balance trials. Although initial transient effects were found in both young and elderly populations, significant differences between groups appear to exist for certain characteristics of the transient response.
