Table 2 Evolution, odd ratio (OR) and significance for unipedal stance test on dominant side (D) and non-dominant side (ND), eyes opened (EO) and eyes closed (EC) for the low, middle and high levels of balance groups

From: Relationship between a three-month physical conditioning “posture-balance-motricity and health education” (PBM-HE) program on postural and balance capacities of sedentary older adults: influence of initial motor profile
