Ageing is known to increase the risk of fall and posturographic stabilometry, both static and dynamic, are useful tools to assess postural stability. To our knowledge, no published normative data for a healthy elderly population are available.
The risk of fall rise with ageing and is huge after 85yrs becoming one of the major problems associated with aging.
The computed dynamic posturographic EquiTest® System and Smart BalanceMaster by NeuroCom® International, Inc, Clackamas, OR, USA) provide a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the balance function through the description of the subject's center of gravity (COG) sway.
Sensory Organization Test and Sensory Analysis norms are provided for age groups (20-59; 60-69; 70-79) up to 79yrs, whilst they lack in the international literature for subjects 80+yrs, nonetheless being necessary in the understanding of balance performance from a quantitative point of view.
Subjects 80+yrs are evaluated with EquiTest® System and Smart BalanceMaster to provide mean values and normative data.
In order to assess the reliability of the instrumental evaluation was repeated (T1) two weeks later (±2 days).
