Abstract

Postural instability occurs in some patients, and could be caused by a wide range of disorders, including neurological diseases, vestibular, visual and/or somatosensory dysfunctions, and musculoskeletal impairments. Problems in postural balance are commonly evaluated by posturography. Posturography is based on the principle of measuring changes in the center of pressure (COP), which represents the center point of the entire pressure exerted by the foot-ground contact surface on the force plate.
