Abstract

Posturography normative data in healthy populations is crucial for several reasons including monitoring the independence issues related to activities of daily living (ADLs), fall and incapacity avoidance, and residual injury impairment. The Biodex Balance System requires updated normative data regarding healthy persons because of recent revisions to the Biodex Balance System. Further, this study aimed to determine and compare gender and limb performance in 161 adults aged 18-55 years (n = 80 males; n = 81 females). Assessments involved both static and dynamic stability tests such as double-leg and single-leg balance tests at platform stability which served as outcome measurements. Females performed significantly (p≤.05) better on double-leg static balance (p=.031), double-leg dynamic balance (p=.002), and single-leg dynamic balance on both the left (p=.003) and right legs (p=.013) when compared to males. The normative values and findings of this study not only enable the evaluation of individual performance regarding the balance of adults but also suggest the need to use gender-stratified normative data when using the Biodex Balance System to interpret double- and single-leg, static and dynamic balance test performance.

性别和肢体对生物指数平衡系统成人规范数据的影响

健康人群的姿势学规范数据至关重要，原因包括监测与日常生活活动(ADLs)相关的独立性问题，避免跌倒和丧失行为能力，以及残余损伤损害。由于生物指数平衡系统的最新修订，生物指数平衡系统需要更新有关健康人的规范性数据。此外，本研究旨在确定和比较161名18-55岁成年人的性别和肢体表现(n = 80男性;N = 81名女性)。评估包括静态和动态稳定性测试，如作为结果测量的平台稳定性的双腿和单腿平衡测试。与男性相比，女性在双腿静态平衡(p= 0.031)、双腿动态平衡(p= 0.002)、左腿和右腿单腿动态平衡(p= 0.003)上的表现显著(p≤0.05)。本研究的规范性值和结果不仅可以评估成人的个人平衡表现，而且还建议在使用Biodex平衡系统解释双腿和单腿，静态和动态平衡测试表现时，需要使用性别分层的规范性数据。

期刊介绍： Kinesiology – International Journal of Fundamental and Applied Kinesiology (print ISSN 1331- 1441, online ISSN 1848-638X) publishes twice a year scientific papers and other written material from kinesiology (a scientific discipline which investigates art and science of human movement; in the meaning and scope close to the idiom “sport sciences”) and other adjacent human sciences focused on sport and exercise, primarily from anthropology (biological and cultural alike), medicine, sociology, psychology, natural sciences and mathematics applied to sport in its broadest sense, history, and others. Contributions of high scientific interest, including also results of theoretical analyses and their practical application in physical education, sport, physical recreation and kinesitherapy, are accepted for publication. The following sections define the scope of the journal: Sport and sports activities, Physical education, Recreation/leisure, Kinesiological anthropology, Training methods, Biology of sport and exercise, Sports medicine and physiology of sport, Biomechanics, History of sport and Book reviews with news.
