OBJECTIVE: The static postural equilibrium and gait patterns between @entity3762 ( @entity3762 ) @entity1 and normal subjects were studied to verify the best method to identify the functional disability in @entity3762 @entity1 . DESIGN: The static stability in six postures and gait patterns among normal subjects and @entity3762 @entity1 were compared. BACKGROUND: Postural stability control and gait analysis are non-invasive methods to identify many diseases. However, the dysfunction of @entity3762 @entity1 in postural stability control and gait pattern is not clear. The results of this research may lead to further understanding of the etiology of @entity2112 in the postural equilibrium influencing aspects. METHODS: Thirty @entity3762 @entity1 and fifteen normal subjects were recruited for postural stability control test and gait analysis using the force plate and 3-D motion analysis system. RESULTS: The @entity3762 @entity1 generally produced higher sway area, lateral sway, sagittal sway, and sway radius than normal subjects. The cadence is smaller in the @entity3762 @entity1 , but the stance phase and stride phase are similar to normal subjects. CONCLUSIONS: The @entity3762 @entity1 are poor in postural stability control but their gait pattern is similar to that of normal subjects. Standing with trunk at full flexion is the most effective position to identify the postural stability control of @entity3762 @entity1 .
