Postural-motor control characteristics in older female fallers

The paper presents data on the characteristics of a postural-motor control (PMC) in female fallers 65-74 years old (twice or more fallers during a year). Evaluation of PMC parameters was carried out using computer posturographic (stabilometric) complex «Balance Master». «Sit to stand» test analysis showed a rate decrease in the average rise index (p = 0,009) and a rate increase in the average speed of the gravity center (GC) oscillation (p = 0,003) in older women with F. Comparative evaluation of the test «Walk Across» found a decline in the average step length (p = 0,042) and the average speed of walking (p = 0,029) in the surveyed female fallers. Characteristics of the test «Tandem Walk» showed a rate decrease in the average final GC oscillation (p
