Abstract
Assessment of stability and balance system consist in quantitatively measuring and analysing movements of the centre of foot pressure (COP). Position of COP steadily changes due to the so called postural sways, and of course due to voluntary moves. Enlarged sways, observed in normal pressure hydrocephalus, are not however specific and cannot give simple diagnosis. Postural balance can be impaired due to pathology in various organs including vestibular and cerebellar disorders and various forms of ataxia (Mohan at al. 2009), Parkinsonism (Bloem at al. 1995, Stolze at al. 2001, Jagielski at al. 2006), multiple sclerosis (Kessler at al. 2011) and even alcohol dependence (Wober at al. 1998) and muscle fatigue or aging (Blaszczyk and Michalski 2006).
