Abstract

Preliminary analysis showed similar variability for body sway on the pleasant condition for moderate to high PTSD groups, with increasing variability for the individuals with low PTSD. Low and moderate PTSD groups exhibited lower variability, possibly freezing during the unpleasant condition. The high PTSD group exhibited increased variability.
