The literature data suggest that balance control is genetically determined and therefore it can be expected that balance parameters correlate for relatives. The parameters were measured with the pedographic platform in two groups of relatives and correlated for 30 pairs father-adult son. The positive significant correlations were found for parameters describing deflection in the sagittal plane: the average deflection of center of pressure progression (COPP) and average value of COPP velocity in sagittal plane as well as the average value of velocity of COPP, the length of COPP trajectory and the surface area of the trajectory covered by COPP. Therefore, the results support the hypothesis that the balance has the genetic background.
