| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It was clarified that healthy elderly people can perform posture control strategies that stabilize the center of gravity (COM) and reduce the variation of joint movements by visual feedback of the COM during one leg standing (OLS). However, healthy elderly people, like young people, could not enhance the coordination structure of joint movement by visual feedback of the center of gravity. In addition, the posture control strategy with less variation of joint movement in the lower limbs was used to maintain OLS in the patients with mild knee OA. This suggests that visual feedback of the COM to the patients with mild knee OA cannot enhance the coordination structure of joint movement and may be a factor in the progression of knee OA.
