title: [Effect of aging on posture].
abstract: In order to assess the postural behaviour of the elderly, we have submitted twenty subjects of more than seventy years old to posturography. In all cases, compared to young people, significant variations of the posturographic parameters regarding in a particular way the total tracing length, the ellipse surface and the mean speed have been recorded. The conclusion is that the values obtained should always be compared with the standard values for each age group.
