It is known that balance control requires attention as well it is known that postural control is affected by the simultaneous execution of a secondary task, since this competes for attentional resources. Thus one of the methods for the assessment of postural control implies to keep the upright balance while performing another secondary task (dual-task condition). The measure of CoP fluctuations while standing on a force platform has been one of the most popular variables representing an output signal of the postural control system in which various pertinent cognitive and motor processes are reflected. By now, only few studies have investigated the effects of a secondary motor task, but emerged results are conflicting. Moreover, despite ...
