收集了 71 名非住院老年妇女在进行两次定时平衡测试时的静态站立平衡的描述性数据。所有受试者在四种测试条件下对每只脚进行锐化龙伯格测试和单腿站立测试：1）睁眼，2）闭眼，3）穿鞋，4）脱鞋。根据以下年龄范围对受试者进行分组和分析：1）60至64岁，2）65至69岁，3）70至74岁，4）75至79岁，以及5）80至86岁。使用三个试验的最佳时间进行数据分析。锐化 Romberg 测试的最大平衡时间为 60 秒。对于单腿站立测试，最长平衡时间为 30 秒。在进行单腿站立测试时，左右肢或优势肢和非优势肢之间没有发现显着差异。跌倒者与未跌倒者之间以及穿鞋和脱鞋测试表现之间的平均平衡时间没有发现显着差异。受试者在睁眼测试中的表现始终优于闭眼测试表现 (p< .0001)。单腿站立测试平均平衡时间随着年龄的增加而显着减少。与单腿站立测试相比，在强化 Romberg 测试中达到最大平衡时间的受试者数量更多。这项研究的结果表明，在老年人口的平衡维持领域需要进行更多的研究。
Descriptive data were collected regarding static standing balance of 71 noninstitutionalized elderly women as they performed two timed balance tests. All subjects performed the sharpened Romberg test and the one-legged stance test on each foot in four test conditions: 1) eyes open, 2) eyes closed, 3) shoes on, and 4) shoes off. Subjects were grouped and analyzed according to the following age ranges: 1) 60 to 64 years, 2) 65 to 69 years, 3) 70 to 74 years, 4) 75 to 79 years, and 5) 80 to 86 years. The best time of three trials was used for data analysis. The maximum balance time for the sharpened Romberg test was 60 seconds. For the one-legged stance test, a maximum balance time was 30 seconds. No significant difference was found between right and left or dominant and nondominant limbs while performing the one-legged stance test. No significant difference was found in mean balance time between subjects who had fallen versus those who had not fallen, nor between shoes-on and shoes-off test performance. Subjects' performance on the eyes-open test was consistently superior to their eyes-closed test performance (p< .0001). The one-legged stance test mean balance time decreased significantly as age increased. More subjects reached the maximum balance time on the sharpened Romberg test than on the one-legged stance test. The results of this study indicate that additional research is needed in the area of balance maintenance among the elderly population.
