The effect of aging on vertical postural control during the forward and backward shift of the center of pressure

Highlights • We examine the effect of aging on vertical postural control in the upright stance. • Elderly and young groups were compared performing voluntary COP shift tasks. • Postural strategy in the elderly: center of mass lowered during backward COP shift. • Influence of aging on vertical postur...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • We examine the effect of aging on vertical postural control in the upright stance. • Elderly and young groups were compared performing voluntary COP shift tasks. • Postural strategy in the elderly: center of mass lowered during backward COP shift. • Influence of aging on vertical postural control is demonstrated.
