Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the postural control ability of golfers.
Method: We evaluated the postural control ability of the 18 golfers and compared with the 18 young healthy adults. Postural control ability of participants was evaluated through the Balance Master system. A total of six measurements were analyzed to determine the difference between the study and control group.
Results: Golfers demonstrated weight bearing patterns on the left side, wider area of sway (°) under conditions (left unilateral stance on firm surface with eye opened) in modified clinical test sensory interaction on balance, high on-axis velocity (°/sec) in fast front/back and left/right rhythmic weight shift (p<0.05). Wider area of turn sway (°) during step/quick turn and tandem walk were demonstrated in golfers (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results showed that golfers were weight bearing patterns on left side and increased on-axis velocity in weight shift. We thought that above findings is associated with golf swing needed rapid weight shift and left lower limbs on axis.
