Sinusoidal harmonic acceleration testing in normal humans.
Forty-one normal humans were tested with sinusoidal harmonic acceleration. Phase lag at 0.01, 0.02, and 0.04 Hz was the most stable parameter, with less test-retest variability than gain and asymmetry. There was no significant difference between men and women for phase lag, gain, or asymmetry at any of the five testing frequencies. Gain decreased as age increased. Age had no effect on phase lag at most test frequencies or on asymmetry at any frequency.
