| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our study group developed a stabilometer with attached handrail. The forces applied to the handrail and the foot pressure central sway were measured in healthy elderlies and in patients with hemiplegia. The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was also measured to analyze the device validity. Both groups performed twice each following conditions during 30 sec: handrail + eyes opened (A) and closed eyes (B) without handrail, eyes opened (C) and closed eyes (D), handrail + ipsilateral one-leg-standing (E), handrail + contralateral one-leg-standing (F). The A and B conditions were most stable in both groups. Under the E and F conditions, the patients' sway was significantly larger than the healthy subjects. Regarding the downward force on the handrail, it was higher during F condition in patients group. Patients with poor BBS had greater total force applied to the handrail under E condition.
