This study aimed to investigate the influence of three stimulating surfaces based on center of pressure (CoP), anteroposterior sway velocity (VA/P), and medio-lateral sway velocity (VM/L) of 40 elderly subjects. CoP and VM/L showed a significant decrease in all visual conditions only in the stimulating surface whereas VA/P showed a significant decrease only on the same surface with eyes open. Results confirm the importance of multisensory stimulation in postural control in the elderly.
