目的：为确定20 ~ 80岁社区妇女四项常用临床功能平衡测试的正常值，并确定因衰老而导致的任何显著下降。设计：进行一项横断面研究，为6个十年队列的四项临床平衡测试提供标准值。四百五十六社区居住，独立走动的妇女，没有明显的神经或肌肉相关的残疾，年龄20至80岁，随机招募从一个大都市region.MEASUREMENTS：临床平衡措施/测试的时间和去测试，步测试，功能性达到测试，和横向达到测试。多变量分析用于测试年龄，身高和活动level.RESULTS的效果：正常数据产生的每个测试在每个十年队列。平衡性能的逐渐下降得到证实，年龄的显着影响demonstrated.CONCLUSION：新的规范性数据，在成人年龄几十年，这些临床试验。使用临床平衡测试可以补充其他平衡测试，并用于筛选40至60岁的女性，其表现超出了年龄的正常值，并降低以后的福尔斯风险。
OBJECTIVES: To determine normal values for four commonly used clinical functional balance tests from community-dwelling women aged 20 to 80 and to identify any significant decline due to aging.DESIGN: A cross-sectional study was undertaken to provide normative values for four clinical balance tests across 6 decade cohorts.SETTING: The Betty Byrne-Henderson Center for Women and Aging, Royal Womens' Hospital, Brisbane, Australia.PARTICIPANTS: Four hundred fifty-six community-dwelling, independently ambulant women with no obvious neurological or musculoskeletal-related disability, aged 20 to 80, were randomly recruited from a large metropolitan region.MEASUREMENTS: The clinical balance measures/tests were the Timed Up and Go test, step test, Functional Reach test, and lateral reach test. Multivariate analysis was used to test the effect for age, height, and activity level.RESULTS: Normal data were produced for each test across each decade cohort. Gradual decline in balance performance was confirmed, with significant effect for age demonstrated.CONCLUSION: New normative data across the adult age decades are available for these clinical tests. Use of clinical balance tests could complement other balance tests and be used to screen women aged 40 to 60 whose performance is outside the normal values for age and to decrease later falls risk.
