Interlimb temporal synchrony and spatial symmetry of centre of pressure (COP) displacements may be vital contributors to standing balance control. In previous work among stroke survivors, low-frequency COP displacements (0.4 Hz) were proposed to arise from centre of mass (COM) dynamics, or from proactive exploratory processes. COP displacements among higher frequencies (0.4 Hz), in contrast, have been attributed to corrective balance responses to internal perturbations. The present study extends this work to explore age-related alterations in such stability control processes during standing balance. The combined COP displacements from both limbs (COP |
