説明
Purpose: This study examined the relationship between the static balance (SB) and dynamic balance (DB) of elderly women using a database of measurements which were evaluated by the same computerized dynamic posturography device. Methods: A total of 669 older women (mean age: 69.5 ± 6.0 years) out of the 730 older women, who volunteered for this study, successfully completed both the SB and DB measurements on the same balance master, and their data were analyzed. The SB index used was an overall average postural sway velocity (SVcomp), and the DB indexes, such as composite of endpoint excursion (EPEcomp), maximum excursion (MXEcomp), reaction time (RTcomp), movement mean velocity (MVLcomp), and direction control (DCLcomp), were the components of the limits of stability assessment. Results: A significant but low-to-moderate inverse Pearson correlation was noted between age and balance measurement variables. A significant but weak partial correlation between SVcomp and EPEcomp (r = -0.166, p < 0.001) and between SVcomp and MXEcomp (r = -0.125, p < 0.001) adjusted for the effect of age was noted. The partial correlation between SVcomp and other three DB parameters (RTcomp, MVLcomp, and DCLcomp) adjusted for the effect of age was also significant, but weak. Conclusion: A significant but weak relationship existed between the SB and DB measures when they were assessed by the same posturography device, indicating that both SB and DB should be tested to assess overall balance ability in elderly women.
