ABSTRACT
This laboratory study aimed to characterize the dynamics of sitting during a 40 min computer task in 20 younger (YG) and 18 older (OG) computer users. The position of the center of pressure (COP) in anterior-posterior (AP) and medial-lateral (ML) direction was computed. The range, velocity, area, standard deviation (SD) and sample entropy (SaEn) values were extracted. The range, velocity and area of the COP displacement were larger in the AP while the SD and SaEn were respectively larger and smaller in both AP and ML for the OG than the YG. The findings revealed altered dynamics of sitting among older computer users.
