Functional balance was studied in a sample of 98 women and 75 men from a population study. Tests used were one-legged stance and walking in a figure of eight. The results revealed that both static and dynamic functional balance were significantly correlated to isometric knee extensor strength, walking speed and stair-climbing capacity, while the association with activities of daily living (ADL) was modest in this sample of relatively healthy elderly persons. A sub-sample of 17 women and 10 men also performed balance tests on a force plate. Velocity of the sway path with both open and closed eyes was significantly correlated to the functional balance tests. Mean sway in the anterior-posterior direction and area tested with closed eyes were significantly correlated to the functional static balance test. There were no significant associations between the platform variables and the results in the performance tests. This study demonstrated differences between the sexes in that males were able to stand for a longer time on one leg, while they swayed more than females on the platform.
在一项人群研究的98名女性和75名男性样本中对功能平衡进行了研究。所使用的测试为单腿站立和走“8”字形。结果显示，静态和动态功能平衡均与等长伸膝力量、步行速度和爬楼梯能力显著相关，而在这个相对健康的老年人群样本中，与日常生活活动（ADL）的关联程度一般。17名女性和10名男性的一个子样本还在测力板上进行了平衡测试。睁眼和闭眼时摇摆路径的速度与功能平衡测试显著相关。闭眼时前后方向的平均摇摆和测试面积与功能静态平衡测试显著相关。平台变量与性能测试结果之间没有显著关联。这项研究表明了性别差异，即男性单腿站立的时间更长，而在平台上他们比女性摇摆得更多。
