Balance study in asymptomatic subjects: Determination of significant variables and reference patterns to improve clinical application.

Postural control is essential when carrying out everyday activities and its possible disorders have a very significant impact on personal autonomy. To provide the means to accurately measure postural control in the clinical environment, this study checks and discusses the suitability of procedures for a new balance assessment system with a stabilometric platform (MoveHuman-Dyna © UZ-IDERGO), which meets the criteria of clinical stabilometric standardisation established by the International Society for Posture and Gait Research (ISPGR) at the Bologna meeting (2009). The study was applied to a sample of 30 healthy volunteers (12 women, 18 men) aged between 18 and 30 years.
