Postural control strategies are revealed by the complexity of fractional components of COP
Francisco Javier Moreno Hernández, Carla Caballero, David Barbado
Abstract
The relationship between the complexity of the center of pressure (COP) and balance performance is not fully established. The task constraints and the filtering decomposition of the COP could influence this relationship. COP complexity is related to a better balance performance only in low frequencies and midfrequencies of the COP. The different frequencies measure different postural control components. Filtering decomposition should be explored in future studies to address the underlying mechanisms of postural control.
