To confirm the 1994 findings of Okuzumi, Haishi, and Kokubun, the displacement of the center of foot pressure, one-foot balance and head sway were measured in children with Down syndrome (n = 11) compared to those with other types of mental retardation (n = 17). The magnitudes of the displacement of the center of foot pressure and head sway were not significantly different between the Down group and other forms of mental retardation, whereas the performance of one-foot balance was significantly lower in the Down group. The mean frequencies of sway waves were generally higher in the Down group, and the differences between the two groups were significant except for sagittal head sway. The results generally supported the prior findings. We proposed that it was not the magnitude of the displacement of the center of foot pressure but rather the manner of the whole body's sway which might be related to postural control.
为了证实奥久住、海志和小久保1994年的研究结果，对唐氏综合征患儿（n = 11）与其他类型智力障碍患儿（n = 17）进行了足压中心位移、单脚平衡和头部摆动测量。唐氏综合征组与其他智力障碍形式组之间，足压中心位移和头部摆动的幅度无显著差异，而唐氏综合征组的单脚平衡表现明显更低。唐氏综合征组的摆动波平均频率总体上更高，除头部矢状面摆动外，两组之间的差异具有显著性。结果总体上支持了先前的研究结果。我们提出，可能与姿势控制有关的并非足压中心位移的幅度，而是全身摆动的方式。
