Intermittent claudication (IC) is a debilitating condition that affects mainly the elderly and manifested by decreased ability of ambulatory function. Furthermore, subjects whit CI present motor and sensory nerve dysfunction in the lower extremities, which may lead to deficits in balance and increased risk of falls. This study aims to evaluate the risk of falls in subjects whit CI by measuring postural control and muscle performance. The study included 32 subjects of both genders, 16 patients within IC (64 ± 6 years) and 16 healthy subjects (67 ± 5 years). Postural control was assessed by computerized dynamic posturography (CDP). The CDP have a static test and a dynamic test. The variables analyzed were: range of the center of pressure (COP...
