Table 5.

Mean (SD) COP Area and Velocity (Vel.) values during sensory conditions C1–C6 of both the Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRU) and Sensory Organization Test (SOT). Subject groups were young controls (YC) (n= 30), older controls (OC) (n= 30), young vestibular (YV) (n= 15), and older vestibular (OV) (n= 15). See text for explanation of sensory conditions.
