Reference values for static posturography of sportive and healthy adults aged 18–30 years
The present dataset provides reference values for young and sportive adults between 18 and 30 years of age. An examination of possible gender differences in static balance revealed a significant difference only between men and women for AoE with closed eyes. Body height does not have an influence on balance but the literature is inconsistent and further research is needed. Owing to the popular use of posturography in practice, further reference values are needed, and more attention should be given to ΔSPL and ΔAoE (open eyes, closed eyes) as well as the interpretation of the relationship between the SPL and AoE.
