Abstract

In this study we measured the one-leg standing time with eyes open of 56 elderly community dwelling women and investigated its relationship with upper and lower limb strength and flexibility, sole proprioception? and other physical functions together with attention function. The factors affecting one-leg standing time as indicated by repeated measures regression analysis were foot-gripping strength and age: one-leg standing was more stable at higher foot-gripping strengths and younger ages. These results suggest the importance of increasing foot-gripping strength for improving the one-leg standing ability of elderly community-dwelling females.<br>
