Age-associated disorders of the function of maintaining balance lead to an increase in the frequency of falls and related complications (injuries, limited mobility, decreased independence and autonomy, etc.). In addition, motor disorders of various genesis in most cases are accompanied by changes in postural function. An analytical review of the literature over the last decade devoted to methods of assessing postural balance in older age groups has been conducted. Computer stabilometry is recognized as the best method for an objective assessment of postural function and dynamic monitoring of the effectiveness of therapy. At the same time, the stabilometric characteristics of postural disorders in older age groups and the relationship between the indicators of stabilography and age remain insufficiently studied.
