Fall Prevention:Dynamic Posturographic Measurements in the Geriatric Population
Falls are the greatest cause of accidental death in the elderly. There is no normative data on large groups of geriatric subjects specific to their stability scores obtained by computerized dynamic posturography (CDP). CDP is the standard test to obtain stability scores and is utilized as the gold standard in posturographic evaluations and fall prevention
Hypotheses:
Human stability can be measured by CDP. Increased stability is associated with a lessor probability of falls. Stability decreases as age increases and a normative data collection of stability scores in the geriatric population will allow and promote clinical applications which can be utilized in fall prevention.
