Abstract

Purpose. The Unstable Platform for Balance Analysis (UP-balance) has been used in several studies to evaluate different situations of balance and constraints. However, the reliability of its measurements has not been analysed yet. Therefore, the present study investigated the reliability of the measures provided by UP-balance in young adults in bipedal posture with and without vision. Methods. For such analysis, 30 young adults, male and female (mean age: 22.9 years; SD = 3.8 years), performed 3 attempts of the task which consisted in maintaining balance on an UP-balance on a bipedal base for 20 seconds, with and without visual information, with perturbations in the medial-lateral and anterior-posterior directions. Results. The UP-balance variables presented high inter-trial reliability (Icc > 0.76; p < 0.05), except for balance time in the anterior-posterior direction and non-vision condition, which exhibited moderate inter-trial reliability (Icc = 0.73; p < 0.05). Conclusions. UP-balance seemed to be a reliable instrument for the analysis of balance in situations of instability on a base support.

不稳定平衡分析平台提供的测量方法在有和没有视觉信息的年轻人中的可靠性

目的。不稳定平衡分析平台(UP-balance)已经在一些研究中用于评估不同的平衡和约束情况。然而，其测量结果的可靠性尚未得到分析。因此，本研究调查了在两足姿势的年轻人中UP-balance提供的措施的可靠性，有和没有视力。方法。在这项分析中，30名年轻成年人，男性和女性(平均年龄:22.9岁;SD = 3.8岁)，完成了3次任务，包括在两足基础上保持平衡20秒，有或没有视觉信息，在中外侧和前后方向有扰动。结果。UP-balance变量具有较高的试验间信度(Icc > 0.76;p < 0.05)，除前后方向平衡时间和非视力状况外，其余均表现出中等的试验间信度(Icc = 0.73;P < 0.05)。结论。UP-balance似乎是在基础支助不稳定情况下分析平衡的可靠工具。
