2 Figure 1 Evolution of the “total traveled way” (TTW) by the center of pressure in the dynamic test to walk on the platform 3 stereotyped steps “in tandem,” eyes open, in 3 patients (A,B,C) with mild asymptomatic hyponatremia and after correction. Patients are walking from right to left. Irregular paths of the center of pressure observed in the hyponatremia condition (arrows).

3 Figure 2 Distribution of the frequency (%) of falls according to the level of hyponatremia among 122 patients presenting with asymptomatic hyponatremia between 115 and 132 mEq/L. The numbers on top of bars are absolute number of falls (numbers on top of bars) per number of patients in subgroup of cohort. No patient presented with acute organic brain disease.
