Postural stability is critical for injury prevention and rehabilitation. An advantage in favor of female subjects compared to males could be determined in many studies, whereby the quantification, reliability and validity are limited due to the method.

So far, there are no studies that have recorded postural stability with the Posturomed® and examined gender-specific differences.
