Brief Summary

A total of 19 subjects participated in the study, 10 in the experimental group and 9 in the control group. As a result of static COP measurement with eyes open, both the experimental and control groups showed increased movement in the lateral and anterior directions. In static COP measured eye closed, the experimental group decreased the movement in the anterior direction, but the control group increased the movement in all directions. In dynamic COP, the experimental group increased the movement in the anterior, right, and left directions, and the control group increased the motion only in the right and left direction. However, neither the experimental group nor the control group showed a significant change and there was no significant difference between the groups.
