AB  - Background: Posture and Stability Control is a process of maintaining balance and position of the body and its parts in a constantly changing environment. It is an important regulatory mechanism of the body, because it precedes movement, is upon the completion of which this system tries to maintain the body position.
Aim: The purpose of this long term study is to determinate by special testing which morphological indicators and how influence postural stability and its control.
Method: This study used testing with NeuroCom Balance-12 protocols, anthropometric measuring - 32 values, anamnestic questionnaire. For this article we analyzed one chosen protocol: Weight Bearing Squat Test.
Results: In this research, 41 individuals took part in it. 22 (53.66 %) were female, 19 (46.34 %) were male. Interesting statistically significant coherences were discovered during analysis of Weight Bearing Squat protocol on level p < 0.01, p < 0.05 and the Student's two-optional T-test proved statistically significantly higher values of Left Body Weight erect position and Left Body Weight 30° knee flexion in men in comparison with women.
Conclusions: This study shows us a direction and we may consider it a convenient base for more specific continuation in this problematic area.
