[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between results of the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Static Balance Test (SBT) in hemiplegic patients with stroke. [Subjects] The subjects were 39 hemiplegic patients (25 men, 14 women; mean age, 69.4 ± 11.0 years) with stroke that had occurred within the preceding 6 months and who had good understanding of verbal instructions. [Methods] The SBT consists of five posture-holding tasks (sitting, stride standing, close standing, one-foot standing on the unparalyzed leg, and one-foot standing on the paralyzed leg). Four grades, 1-4, are used to judge the ability of patients to hold these postures. The SBT and BBS were each implemented, and the relationship between test results was analyzed using correlation coefficients. [Results] The correlation coefficient for the BBS score and SBT score was 0.87. Thus, a strong correlation was seen between the BBS and SBT. [Conclusion] The SBT is thought to be an assessment index that can predict overall balance ability.
[目的] 本研究旨在分析中风偏瘫患者的伯格平衡量表（BBS）结果与静态平衡测试（SBT）之间的关系。[对象] 对象为39例中风偏瘫患者（男性25例，女性14例；平均年龄69.4±11.0岁），中风发生在过去6个月内，且对言语指令理解良好。[方法] SBT包括五项姿势维持任务（坐姿、跨步站立、近距离站立、健侧单脚站立和患侧单脚站立）。采用1 - 4级来判断患者维持这些姿势的能力。分别实施SBT和BBS，并使用相关系数分析测试结果之间的关系。[结果] BBS评分与SBT评分的相关系数为0.87。因此，BBS与SBT之间存在很强的相关性。[结论] SBT被认为是一种可以预测整体平衡能力的评估指标。
