POSTURAL CONTROL IN THE ELDERLY
In order to investigate postural control in the elderly, a stabilometric investigation including fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis was conducted in three different age groups. The oldest group was composed of 16 subjects who ranged in age from 75 to 86 years: another group consisted of eight 65 to 74 year olds; the control group was composed of 21 ...

Postural control in the elephant
ABSTRACT As the largest extant legged animals, elephants arguably face the most extreme challenge for stable standing. In this study, we investigated the displacement of the centre of pressure of 12 elephants during quiet standing. We found that the average amplitude of the oscillations in the lateral and fore–aft directions was less ...
