PURPOSE: to analyze the responses of two groups of aged women (with and without dizziness complaints) under different sensorial conditions on a force platform. METHODS: to analyze the data used is a force platform AMTI OR6-6 under a frequency of 100 Hz. Samples were collected in four different conditions, which are, as it follows: open eyes (OE), closed eyes (CE) only on the force platform, open eyes (OE) and closed eyes (CE) on a cushion of 20 cm thickness. The examined variables were the anterior-posterior center of power (COPap), center of medium-strength side (COPml), 95% of the ellipse area, length and speed of oscillation. Comparisons were made between the group and between conditions within groups, through the test of Duncan. RESULTS: results showed no differences among the groups in any variable, but the CE condition caused the greatest disruption as for the elderly women. CONCLUSION: we may conclude that the increase in the difficulty imposed by the four assessed conditions, changed the body oscillation of the evaluated elderly women.
