Normative Data for the NeuroCom® Sensory Organization Test in Subjects Aged 80–89 Years

Aging is known to increase the risk of falling. In older people, whose share in the total population is rising sharply, the Sensory Organization Test (SOT, Equitest NeuroCom) is a useful tool during rehabilitation and in clinical research for assessing postural stability, risk of falling, and balanc...
