It is important to quantify the postural stability. The frame subtraction method can calculate the motions of a subject, and might be easier to implement, with lower costs. However, validity of the evaluation of postural stability using this method have not been validated yet. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to verify criterion-related validity of the frame subtraction scores and the center of pressure (COP) parameters during maintenance of single leg standing.Twenty two healthy young subjects participated in this study. Motion tasks comprised right leg standing with eyes open and closed. The total length of COP displacements (LNG), Root mean square (RMS) area, anterior - posterior (AP) range, medial - lateral (ML) range were recorded using the force plate. Simultaneously, the motion images were acquired with digital video cameras from the front and right sides. After the motion images were analyzed using the frame subtraction method, the frame subtraction scores (maximum / sum of the frame subtraction score on each plane / the frontal and sagittal planes) were measured. To confirm the validity, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient between the frame subtraction scores and the COP parameters was calculated.The sum of the frame subtraction score on the frontal plane was significantly correlated with all COP displacements in the single leg standing. The result of this study indicated that the frame subtraction method could be applied to the evaluation of balance task with postural sway such as maintenance of single leg standing. The frame subtraction method is low cost and easy owing to its marker-less systems. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
