Correlation between stabilometric parameters and the time since surgery (eyes opened (EO) and eyes closed (EC)).

Stabilometric parametersTime since surgery [months]

EC/EO ratio
COP path length (cm)0,02 (p = 0,898)
COP path area (cm2)0,11 (p = 0,439)

Eyes opened (EO)
COP deviation mean velocity (AP) (cm/s)−0,30 (p = 0,026)
COP deviation mean velocity (ML) (cm/s)−0,29 (p = 0,031)
COP path length (cm)−0,29 (p = 0,029)
COP path area (cm2)−0,24 (p = 0,079)

Eyes closed (EC)
COP deviation mean velocity (AP) (cm/s)−0,27 (p = 0,048)
COP deviation mean velocity (ML) (cm/s)−0,22 (p = 0,102)
COP path length (cm)−0,26 (p = 0,059)
COP path area (cm2)−0,16 (p = 0,230)

AP: anterior-posterior; COP: center of pressure; EC: eyes closed; EO: eyes opened; EC/EO ratio: eyes closed/eyes opened ratio; ML: medial-lateral; : Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.
