Rapid Assessment of Age-Related Differences in Standing Balance

Figure 1

Single-subject data of a young subject (32 years) and an older subject (70 years) depicted as statokinesigram (blue and red lines) for subtest 4 (shifting the COP to the upper right), subtest 5 (shifting the COP to the upper left), subtest 6 (shifting the COP to the lower right), and subtest 7 (shifting the COP to the lower left). Group data for young ( ) and older subjects ( ) are displayed by blue and red diamonds in the respective sectors of the diagram. COP deviations are given in percent changes of raw sensor data (RSD) in relation to origin of the coordinate system. Standard deviations of the average COP-positions (black bars) are given for medio-lateral and anterior-posterior directions.
