Popis:	This study aimed to assess the differences in the somatosensory control strategies between healthy adults and elderly individuals during postural tasks. The center of pressure displacement was determined in 30 elderly individuals and 30 adults who were instructed to stand upright with closed eyes on a balance board. Vibratory stimulation at 30 and 240 Hz was applied to the lumbar multifidus and gastrocnemius (GS) muscles bilaterally to evaluate the contributions of these different somatosensory signals to balance control. Compared with the adults, the elderly individuals were significantly more dependent on the GS at 30 (p = 0.002) and 240 Hz (p
