Spatial and temporal postural analysis in children born prematurely.

The aim of this study was to compare postural stability in a group of preterm-born children aged 4-6 years old and in a group of age-matched full-term control children by exploring both spatial and temporal analysis of the Center of Pressure (CoP). Twenty-nine children born prematurely (mean age: 5.38±0.

Developmental study identifies the ages at which the processes involved in the perception of verticality and in postural stability occur.

Aim: The aim of this study was to understand the role played by visual information on the development of verticality and postural stability in healthy children.

Methods: The study comprised 66 healthy children from 4.0 to 15.
