Abstract
<p>We investigated the age changes of oscillation at the center of gravity during “still standing”and using the Cross test with and without a cognitive task by comparing an elderly group (n=16) with a younger group (n=19). The results demonstrated a significantly longer total length of trajectory during “still standing”in the elderly group compared to that in the younger group. Two-way factorial analysis of variance with group factors with/without a cognitive task in the Cross test showed a significant main effect between the groups in the ability to shift the center of gravity in the anterior-posterior direction along the length of the feet (%FB) and in the lateral direction along the width between the feet (%LR); however, there was no significant difference with/without a cognitive task.</p>
