| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The cross-movement test, in which the center of foot pressure (COP) position was moved dynamically in the anterior-posterior and lateral directions, was found to be a simple and safe test. Age-related changes to the maximum reach of the COP in the anteroposterior direction were greater than in the lateral direction, and the dynamic total balance index with added deviation was effective in evaluating dynamic balance capacity. However, it was difficult to improve the ability of the cross-movement test with an 8-10 week exercise intervention in elderly subjects.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の十字移動テストは良好な信頼性と妥当性が確認され，加齢による能力変化やトレーニング効果も僅かに認められ，新たな動的バランステストとして学術的意義は実証できた．転倒事故は社会的および経済的損失を増大させることから，十字移動テストは動的な条件によりバランス能力を評価が可能で，転倒リスクを判定するスクリーニングテストとして確立できたことは社会的意義が大きいと言える．
