The purpose of this study was to investigate the normal development of postural control in children aged 2-18 years in Tehran, and to provide normative data of computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) device variables.
The study population included 400 boys and 400 girls aged 2-18 years (eight age groups with 2-year interval) and 100 adults aged 22-25 years. In each age group, 100 people were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. To evaluate the postural control of the subjects, the sensory organization test (SOT) was performed by using a CDP.
The results of this study led to the determination and presentation of normative data for the development of postural control in boys, girls and children aged 2-18 years. The results related to the repeatability of data produced by the CDP, thereby showing that this system is highly reliable. The results of an independent t-test also showed that girls across all age groups performed better than boys (p ≤ 0.05).
The results of this study demonstrated a nonlinear trend of natural development of postural control. Overall, according to the results of the present study, it seems that like adults, 14-16 year-old teens are capable of processing, integrating and organizing sensory systems information for postural control.
本研究旨在探讨 2-18 岁儿童在德黑兰的姿势控制正常发育情况，并提供计算机动态姿势描记术（CDP）设备变量的正常参考值数据。
研究人群包括 400 名 2-18 岁的男孩和 400 名女孩（每两年为一个年龄组，共八个年龄组），以及 100 名 22-25 岁的成年人。在每个年龄组中，根据纳入和排除标准选择 100 人。为了评估受试者的姿势控制，使用 CDP 进行了感觉组织测试（SOT）。
本研究的结果确定并提供了 2-18 岁男孩、女孩和儿童姿势控制发育的正常参考值数据。与 CDP 产生的数据重复性相关的结果表明，该系统具有高度的可靠性。独立 t 检验的结果还表明，所有年龄段的女孩都比男孩表现更好（p ≤ 0.05）。
本研究的结果表明，姿势控制的自然发育呈非线性趋势。总体而言，根据本研究的结果，14-16 岁的青少年似乎与成年人一样，能够处理、整合和组织用于姿势控制的感觉系统信息。
