Table 3.
Displacements (mm) of the static postural equilibrium with open eye (OE), closed eye (CE) and unipodal support (US) and the time (s) of the 'Timed Up and Go' test in absolute and corrected values for height (cm) and lower-limb length (LLL, cm), in 31 isolated GH deficiency (IGHD) and 40 controls. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation.
