The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a difference in balance ability according to the level of cognitive function in stroke patients, A total of 62 stroke patients were recruited and assessed for cognitive function and balance. The correlation between the cognitive function and the evaluation results of the dynamic and static balance ability was confirmed, and the cognitive functions were compared with each other in the highly correlated static balance ability. Statistical methods used here were descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and one-way ANOVA. The subjects were 62 in total, and they consist of 35 right-sided hemiplegic patients (56.4%) and 27 left-sided hemiplegic patients (43.5%). The correlation between cognitive function and dynamic balance ability (TST) showed a moderate correlation (r = .315, p <.05). The correlation between cognitive function and static balance ability (BBS) showed a moderate correlation (r = .416, p <.05). In comparison of static balance in three cogni tive groups, the balance of higher cognitive group was statistically higher(p <.05). This study proved that the balance function differed by cognitive ability. Especially, it confirmed that the higher cognitive ability the group has, the higher its static balance was.
