Postural sway root mean square

male sex increases postural sway root mean square in humans (2884.5±1701.9 vs 2020.39±1458.19 m/s2).

“and RMS during dual-task posture (F = 1.33, p=.009, males: 2884.5±1701.9m/s2; females: 2020.39±1458.19m/s2) than females”

Older males exhibit greater dual-task gait variability and postural amplitude than older females
