Abstract

The author studied the equilibrium function with 4 methods such as rail walking test, twice rotating stepping tests, walking test and standing test with airplane form.
These test were performed on 4037 pupils age ranged from 6 to 17 who were free from disease, disabilities and other illness in Busan area.
Development of equilibrium function was observed by mean, standard deviation and their significance of each age, sex and 4 age groups.
In addition, the correlation between equilibrium function and Rohrer´s index, equilibrium function and intelligence quotient were also observed.
The results were summerized as follows:
1. In general, equilibrium function grows rapidly in the age group of 9 to 11 years old.
2. There was no sexual difference, but in generally, equilibrium functions developed earlier in girls than in boys.
3. The direction of deviation on walking test seems more dominant to right side(37. 0%) than ta: left side(33.5%).
4. The direction of deviation on right twice rotating stepping test was more dominant to left side (35.4%) than to right side(32.3%), and the direction of deviation on left twice rotating stepping test was more dominant to right side(39.7%) than to left side(29.4%).
5. Developement of equilibrium function was poor in groups of the higher Rohrer´s index(over 156) and the lower Rohrer´s index(below 91).
6. In the correlation between equilibrium function and intelligence quotient, it was observed that the higher intelligence quotient, the better equilibrium function.
