Abstract
In this study, we measured the time of one-leg standing with vision and no vision, and performed the Multi-Directional Reach Test then compared between two groups: fallers and non-fallers. We studied the relationship with numbers of falls as well as correlations of the three evaluations and examined how we should be viewing balance ability as a factor of elderly peoples' falling. The result: the falling group showed significantly low values in every measurement and the greater the numbers of falling, the lower is the value. In the falling group, we found a significant correlation in every evaluation. Therefore, these results suggest the need to evaluate the balance ability by both maintenance ability of center of pressure and shift ability of center of pressure.<br>
