Summary:Highlights • We tested the effect of cognitive decline on postural control strategies. • Older adults without and with cognitive decline were compared. • The participants were asked to maintain quiet stance on force platform. • The analyses revealed an effect of cognitive status on COP velocity-based variables. • Results have implications for understanding clinical balance problems in older adults.
