The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of static balance performance on gait in elderly. Subjects were twenty four members living in Gwangju(12males, 12females), between 65 and 81 years of age.
The Force platform was used to measured static balance performance and gait analyzed the 3-D Motion Analysis
The results of this study were as follow ;
1. The postural sway showed, The mean value of toe-heel was 1.41 ±0.51 cm and left-right was 063 ±0.20cm.
In gait analysis, the mean value of each variable were swing phase 40.5±9.65%, stance phase 59.5± 9.65%, stride length 0.79m, cadence 0.83±0.44step/sec. velocity 0.57+0.32m/sec, Knee up 34.7±31.0°, Knee down -53.6±40.14° . Ankle up 12.14± 13.94° , Ankle down -16.8±25.0° showed.
2. The correlation matrix between L-R sway and Toe-heel sway and gait variables was not showed.
3. In multiple regression test, there were no related variable.
