这项研究的目的是提供临床步态和平衡测试的特定年龄的标准化数据，并确定性别在多大程度上影响姿势控制的差异。对318名无症状成人进行了站立平衡和行走能力测试。使用10秒和30秒的时间限制作为二分点的Logistic回归分析显示，闭着眼睛站在泡沫上、闭着眼睛站在龙贝格上(TR-EC)以及单腿站立(睁眼和闭眼)具有显著的年龄效应。每项测试下降的实际效果是不同的。串联步态和动态步态指数在60岁以前都表现出天花板效应，70多岁的受试者表现出快速下降。线性回归方程表明，无论是男性还是女性，计时启动和开始测试(TUG)的时间都随着年龄的增长而增加，但即使是年龄较大的受试者也应该在10秒或更短的时间内完成TUG。女性在拖船和TR-EC(30秒时间限制)上的表现明显较差。
The purpose of this study was to provide age specific normative data of clinical gait and balance tests and to determine to what extent gender contributes to differences in postural control. Standing balance and walking performance was tested in 318 asymptomatic adults. The logistic regression, using both 10- and 30-second time limits as a dichotomization point, revealed a significant age effect for standing on foam with eyes closed, tandem Romberg with eyes closed (TR-EC), and one leg stance (eyes open and closed). The actual effect of decline was different for each test. Both tandem gait and dynamic gait index showed a ceiling effect up to 60 years of age, with a rapid decline of performance for subjects in their seventies. Linear regression equations indicated that for both men and women, timed up and go test (TUG) times increased with age, but even older subjects should perform the TUG in 10 seconds or less. Women performed significantly poorer on the TUG and TR-EC (30-second time limit).
