Center of pressure variability

1. Osteoporosis increases center of pressure variability in humans.

   “increased standard deviation (SD) of CoP sway velocity and displacement, and decreased CoP entropy in the frontal plane compared to the non-osteoporotic group.”

1. age is associated with center of pressure variability in humans.

   “When controlling for walking speed, a greater age was associated with a higher variability and excursion of the COP during LR only”

   Are there associations with age and sex in walking stability in healthy older adults?
