- Abstract
- The aim of this study is to define the effects of influence of the gender, age, height, weight, direction, visual and proprioceptive entries on the mean center of pressure (COP) positions. For that we examined 25 healthy subjects aged between 19-42 years during the quiet stance under static conditions: keeping outspread foot and opened eyes (FO_EO), tighten foot and opened eyes (FT_EO), outspread foot and closed eyes (FO_EC), tightened foot and closed eyes (FT_EC). Experimental results show that since the majority of subjects are right-handled the mean COP position (MCOPP) is on the right sight. They also show that the increase of height moves the COP on the right and forward. The decrease of age and weight moves the COP on the right and forward. It is also displayed that males COP is situated more in the right sight than females COP. Results also show that with absence of visual information, people lean more on forward and the increase of distance between feet lean the COP on backward and to the right.
