Studies suggest that individuals with gonarthrosis experience deficits in proprioception, in addition to changes within their joints, which directly affects their ability to maintain posture and increases their risk of falling. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the functional status of patients with gonarthrosis through a posturographic examination conducted on a stabilometric platform (force plate) and a functional clinical examination. Methods: Participants were divided into two groups\u2014a control group (n = 125) and a study group (n = 125). During the qualification process, subjective and objective examinations were conducted, including a functional assessment by means of such tests as the \u201cUp and Go\u201d Test, Functional Reach Test, Five Time Sit to Stand Test, and the Step Test. Subsequently, an assessment was conducted on the force plate by means of a posturographic test\u2014the Romberg test performed with open and closed eyes in a standing position\u2014and balance was evaluated using the Berg Balance Scale. The obtained data were analysed with the use of the IBM SPSS Statistics software version 27.0, by means of the Mann\u2013Whitney test, and correlations were determined by means of Spearman\u2019s test. A significance level of p = 0.05 was adopted. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed among the assessed groups as a result of both functional and posturographic examinations, along with positive correlations for disease duration, age, and BMI index. Conclusions: Patients with gonarthrosis exhibited disturbances in balance, functionality, and posture compared to healthy individuals in the control group.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13113298","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,3]],"date-time":"2024-06-03T12:19:46Z","timestamp":1717417186000},"page":"3298","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Significance of Selected Posturographic Methods in Diagnosis of Balance Disorders in Patients with Early-Stage Gonarthrosis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Amanda Maria","family":"Kostro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rehabilitation Clinic, Medical University of Bia\u0142ystok, 15-089 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Artur","family":"Augustynik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rehabilitation Clinic, Medical University of Bia\u0142ystok, 15-089 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Kuryliszyn-Moskal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rehabilitation Clinic, Medical University of Bia\u0142ystok, 15-089 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacek","family":"Jamio\u0142kowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Population Medicine and Civilisation Disease Prevention Division, Medical University of Bia\u0142ystok, 15-089 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monika","family":"Pocien\u00e8","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy and Beauty Therapy, Klaip\u00e8dos Valstybine Kolegia, 91274 Klaip\u0117da, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5139-2321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zofia","family":"Dzi\u0119cio\u0142-Anikiej","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rehabilitation Clinic, Medical University of Bia\u0142ystok, 15-089 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Olczak, A.
