Abstract

In this study, we examined the clinical significance of capability of one-leg standing duration with vision for 30 seconds for 21 community dwelling older men (mean age 70.7 ± 5.4 years). We measured one-leg standing duration time, upper and lower limb muscle strength and flexibility and surveyed fall history. Eleven people who were capable of 30-second one-leg standing with vision were compared with 10 people who were not. Foot-gripping force of the former group was significantly stronger, but in grip strength, foot joints dorsal flexion angle and flexibility we could not find any significant differences. Those who had fall history in this study were all in the latter group; there were none in the former group. The results suggest the possibility of fall prevention for those who are capable of one-leg standing with vision for 30 seconds among community dwelling older men.<br>
