目的：评价单足支撑时体重指数（BMI）与姿势平衡的相关性。40名男性，年龄26 ± 5岁，体重72.3 ± 11 kg，身高176 ± 6 cm，BMI 23.3 ± 3.2 kg /m2，使用Biodex（R）平衡系统进行功能稳定性测试（稳定性评价方案2级，其允许在所有方向上在水平面中的倾斜度高达20度）以将稳定性与BMI进行比较。一般稳定性指数显示BMI和姿势平衡之间的相关性-测量为不平衡（R= 0.723-优势侧和R=0.705-非优势侧）。前后稳定性指数（测量为不稳定性）显示优势侧（R= 0.708）和非优势侧（R=0.656）相关。外侧不稳定性在优势侧（R=0.721）和非优势侧（R=0.728）之间存在相关性。优势侧和非优势侧的平衡指标比较无统计学显著性差异。结论：高BMI需要更多的位移来维持姿势平衡。
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and postural balance in unipodal support.METHOD: 40 males, age 26 +/- 5 yrs, body mass 72.3 +/- 11 kg, height 176 +/- 6 cm and BMI 23.3 3.2 kg /m(2), were submitted to functional stability tests using the Biodex (R) Balance System (stability evaluation protocol level 2, which allows an inclination of up to 20 degrees in the horizontal plane in all directions) to compare stability with BMI.RESULTS: The general stability index showed a correlation between BMI and postural balance - measured as imbalance (R= 0.723-dominant side and R=0.705-non-dominant side). The anteroposterior stability index - measured as instability - showed correlations on the dominant (R= 0.708) and non-dominant side (R=0.656). Lateral instability showed a correlation on the dominant side (R=0.721) and non-dominant side (R=0.728). The comparison of the balance indexes for dominant and non-dominant sides showed no statistically significant differences.CONCLUSION: High BMI demands more displacements to maintain postural balance.
