and balance. It is the point where the mass of the body is concentrated, and its location can vary based on factors such as age, sex, height, and weight. Stability is influenced by the COG height, the base of support size, the properties of the supporting surface, and the segmentation of body parts. A lower COG, a wider base of support, and a line of gravity that falls within the base of support enhance stability. Understanding the COG is essential for assessing and treating conditions related to balance and stability in clinical settings.
