It is unknown, however, how sensorimotor
deficits, which occur naturally in older adults, would
affect the postural control performance when any sensory
source is manipulated, leading to a conflicting situation,
such as the one that occurs in the moving room paradigm.
In the present study, postural control assessments at different
levels of complexity, sensory and motor assessments,
including visual, tactile, proprioceptive, muscular torque
and latency assessments, were performed in order to investigate
whether a functional deficit in one specific system
would have an additional influence on postural control
