Abstract

To evaluate the relationship between the statokinesogram and age postural measurements were taken on a group of normal children aged between 6 and 13. From these measurements, 40 parameters representing different aspects of the statokineso gram were computed. The regression coefficients for the linear equations, describing stability as a function of age, were different for boys and girls. After the parameters were corrected for age no further dependency on weight and height was found.
