The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the limits of stability(LOS) at different sensory conditions in normal 20 years of age. The LOS was measured at stable surface, and unstable surface and the subjects stood with the feet contacted and 4 inches between the feet with the eyes open and the eyes closed. In this study, 20 physical therapy major subjects were evaluated at Wonkwang Public Health Junior College. In this study applied the paired t-test, and Kruskal-Wallis 1-way ANOVA to determine the statistical significance of results at 0.01 level of significance. The results were as follows: 1. The mean of lateral limits of stability was b.67 degree at stable surface with the eyes open and standing with the feet contacted. 2. The mean of anteroposterior limits of stability was 9.78 degree at stable surface with the eyes open and standing with the feet contacted. 3. The mean of lateral limits of stability was 15.10 degree at stable surface with the eyes open and standing with 4 inches between the feet. 4. The mean of anteroposterior limits of stability was 11.72 degree at stable surface with the eyes open and standing with 4 inches between the feet. 5. The anterior-posterior and lateral limits of stability significantly decreased with the eyes closed(p<0.01). 6. The anterior-posterior and lateral limits of stability significantly decreased at unstable surface(p<0.01). 7. There was no significant difference of limits of stability as the height and foot length(p>0.01).
