2021, Neurophysiologie CliniqueCitation Excerpt :Regarding stabilometric measurements, it should first be mentioned that most of the results were within the normal range at baseline. Advanced age and severe pain interference are known to be major factors in a significant increase in postural sway [28,33,39]. In fact, the patients enrolled in our study were rather young (less than 65 years old) and did not suffer from severe local pain at foot level (mean pain intensity of 3.7–4.1/10 at rest and 5.7–6.4/10 at mobilization).
