Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the Limits of stability(LOS) in normal 20 years of age. The LOS was measured at stable surface, unstable surface and standing with contacted the feet and 4 inches between the feet with eye open and eye closed.
In this study, 20 subjects were evaluated who are majoring in physical therapy at Wonkwang Public Health Junior College. In order to determine the statistical significance of results, paired t-test, and Kruskal-Wallis 1-way ANOVA were applied at 0.01 level of significance.
The results were as follows:
1. The mean of lateral limits of stability was 6.67 degree at stable surface with eye open and standing with contacted the feet.
2. The mean of anteroposterior limits of stability was .9:78 degree at stable surface with eye open and standing with contacted the feet.
3. The mean of lateral limits of stability was 15.10 degree at stable surface with eye 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 eye open and standing with 4 inches between the feet.
5. The limits of stability significantly decreased with eye closed(p<0.01).
6. The limits of stability significantly decreased at unstable surface(p<0.01)
7. There was no significant difference of limits of stability as height and foot length(p>0.01).
