Abstract

[Objective] The objectives of the present study were to clarify the relationship between the static balance test (SBT) and performance in other tests, and to investigate its clinical usefulness. [Subjects] Subjects were 42 hemiplegic patients. [Methods] For the present study, static balance was evaluated using a four-point ordinal scale (Grades 1 - 4) in the following five positions: sitting, standing with feet apart, standing with feet together, one foot standing on the non-paralyzed leg and one foot standing on the paralyzed leg. Each subject was also asked to perform the following three tests: 30-second chair-stand test (CS-30); side-step test; and 10-m maximum walking test. Correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze relationships between variables. [Results] A high degree of correlation was found between the SBT and each measure of performance. [Conclusions] The total score of SBT, a measure of static balance, enables prediction of dynamic balance ability, demonstrating the clinical usefulness of the SBT.<br>
