dc.description.abstractAging on the neuromotor system conduces to alterations on postural control, which predisposes to falls and injuries. This concern causes an important social and economic problem, especially considering the progressive aging of the population and the increase in the life expectancy of the last decades. Therefore, it is extremely important to understand the functioning of the postural system and its alterations with age. The balance assessment provides a clue of the integrity of the communication between the sensory and motor systems. The most used and reliable method to evaluate postural control is the posturography, through force platform and evaluation of the center of pressure (COP). There are many studies in this area, but still no consensus on which variable calculated from the COP would best represent the functioning of the control of posture, especially if there are modifications caused by age [1]. Hence, the main objective of this work was to investigate the differences in the postural control of young and old adults through the analysis of sppt_PT
