Objective: To determine center of mass (COM) acceleration usefulness in the evaluation of postural control during quiet standing.Design: Three-group comparison design.Setting: A research laboratory.Participants: Poststroke subjects (n=12), healthy elderly subjects (n=22), and healthy young subjects (n=25).Interventions: Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures: With a force platform, postural sway was evaluated by using the standard deviations of COM acceleration and center of pressure (COP) and COM (COP-COM) in which COP-COM represents the distance between the COP and the COM.Results: COM acceleration and COP-COM variables were greater in the poststroke group than in the healthy groups (elderly and young) in the mediolateral (ML) direction. Both variables in the anteroposterior (AP) direction were greater in the poststroke group and the elderly group than in the young group. Furthermore, the correlations between COM acceleration and COP-COM in each group in each direction were shown to be significantly high (r range,.906-.979; P
